REE Automotive Ltd., a premier technology firm in the automotive domain, specializing in electric trucks and platforms, unveiled the growth of its Authorized Dealer Network. This expansion includes the integration of three fresh dealers from Wisconsin, Illinois, and California, all of which have presented binding commitments for the P7-C electric truck from REE.
Why It Matters
The booming growth in REE’s initial order book, now approximating $25 million, demonstrates a robust 30% surge since late August 2023. This comes as REE advances towards their first customer deliveries set for this year, emphasizing the escalating demand for their P7 electric trucks in North America.
Key Points

- REE’s trucks come with competitive total cost of ownership, technological innovation, and prompt delivery schedules.

- Recent certifications, including the EPA and the FMVSS certification-feasibility, further bolster the credibility of REE’s P7 electric trucks.
- Strategic collaborations have been initiated with top-tier work-truck body manufacturers: Knapheide and Morgan Truck Body.
- REE has also secured an agreement with Mitsubishi HC Capital America to provide bespoke financial solutions to their network.
