REE werkt samen met Hino Motors om een nieuw FlatFormer conceptvoertuig te presenteren op de 46e Tokyo Motor Show
De geavanceerde hoekmoduletechnologie van REE stelt Hino in staat om een volledig vlak, modulair chassis te presenteren – klaar om de toekomst van de mobiliteit zoals we die nu kennen te veranderen.
TOKIO-(BUSINESS WIRE)- Tokyo Motor Show – Vandaag kondigde REE haar samenwerking met Hino Motors, een toonaangevende leverancier van bedrijfsvoertuigen, aan en presenteerde het bedrijf haar technologie binnen Hino’s nieuwe FlatFormer modulaire concept model, een superflexibel chassis dat elektrische mobiliteitsoplossingen optimaliseert, op de 46e Tokyo Motor Show.
De hoekmoduletechnologie van REE speelt een belangrijke rol in het FlatFormer conceptontwerp. FlatFormer maakt gebruik van de unieke technologie van REE, die het mogelijk maakt om alle aandrijfcomponenten in de wielkast te plaatsen, waardoor een volledig vlak chassis ontstaat.

REE’s corner module technology plays an important role to the FlatFormer concept design. FlatFormer leverages REE’s unique technology, which allows the entire drive components to reside within the wheel housing, thus creating a fully flat chassis.
With the contribution of REE’s novel electric solution, Hino’s light duty FlatFormer chassis delivers optimized space, flexibility and energy efficiency to customers. [SO2] It supports a diverse range of plug-and-play body configurations that optimize internal vehicle space and provide room for additional in-car batteries and advanced safety technologies.
“It was a wonderful opportunity to cooperate and build FlatFormer together with REE, which we unveiled at Tokyo Motor Show 2019,” said Mr. Akira Yamaguchi, the General Manager of the design division at Hino Motors. “REE and Hino share the same vision of creating a sustainable and vividly prosperous future and reinventing the concept of mobility to deliver new value.”
“REE is on a mission toward widespread sustainable and modular electrified mobility, and we’re honored to showcase the results of our cooperation with Hino’s team at this year’s event,” said Daniel Barel, Co-Founder and CEO of REE. “REE’s goal is to enable Hino’s future plan with more space in a smaller footprint with full compatibility with their advanced chassis.[SO3] REE’s modular corner technology works seamlessly within the FlatFormer allowing for a flat chassis configuration. Hino Motors is our first Japanese relationship in the commercial market, and we are extremely excited and humbled by this opportunity to collaborate and be part of this joint journey towards a new electric mobility future.”
REE’s fully modular corner supports any size EV and enables rapid e-mobility market innovation by significantly simplifying and expediting model development cycles. Japan is a leader in the e-mobility arena, and REE was fortunate to work together with Million Steps, a business development firm that extends the reach of Israeli companies throughout Japan, to bring this cooperation to fruition.
FlatFormer demonstrations are available at Hino’s booth at the Tokyo Motor Show, Aomi Exhibition Hall A, Tokyo Big Sight, from the 24th of October through the 4th of November.
