REE Automotive hits the track with 3 fully modular, next-gen EV platforms
Leading electric vehicle (EV) platform manufacturer REE Automotive (REE) has released an all-new video showing not one, but three prototypes of its next-generation EV platforms, as the firm strives to reshape e-Mobility.
The Tel Aviv headquartered firm presented a vision for a range of future electric delivery vehicles, with each fully operational prototype featuring REE’s revolutionary, modular and flexible platform architecture. The firm said the new vehicle prototypes answered the exponential demand for entirely new types of EVs – particularly commercial vehicles – driven by the surge in e-commerce – a trend further accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
REE’s EV platform consists of the REEcorner, which powers full X-by-Wire technology for steering, braking and drive, and integrates all drivetrain, powertrain, suspension and steering components into the arch of the wheel. In addition, the breakthrough REEboard – which enables the EV platform to be completely flat – offers customers the freedom to place any shape or size of body design on top.

From urban shuttle to delivery truck
-----------------------------------------------
“EVs, particularly e-delivery vehicles, are in huge demand, with growth drivers including global carbon-emission regulatory policies coupled with a boom e-commerce. There is also a rapid rise in ‘mobility as a service’ (MaaS),” observed Daniel Barel, REE’s Co-Founder and CEO.
“Our modular platform is set to revolutionise electric mobility and as we shared today, the journey is well underway,” he continued. “Our platform provides the perfect blank canvas for our customers on which to build EVs tailored to their needs, whether it’s a fully autonomous last-mile delivery vehicle, a spacious yet compact urban shuttle or a flexible delivery truck with higher load capability on a smaller footprint.”

3D printers can help solve the coronavirus crisis – but more government guidance is required
Business owners with additive manufacturing and 3D printing capabilities are calling on the UK government to tell them how they can best help the effort to build more ventilators for the NHS.
Richard Dinan, CEO of Buckinghamshire-based Pulsar Fusion, has already started using his company’s 3D manufacturing capabilities to create ventilator parts and protective face shields. He says with the help of his network, he could quite easily produce 50 a day – and possibly many more, as similar companies join up with him.
The entrepreneur has been contacted by scores of other business owners anxious to help create simple ventilators and safely equipment using 3D printers.
Mr Dinan believes 3D printing could provide a short term solution to the NHS equipment and ventilator part shortage. However, he says that firms require government guidance on which parts they should prioritise and where they are most needed.
He has already started producing ‘Charlotte Valves’, which connect a ventilator to a breathing mask currently being used in Italy. Moreover, Mr Dinan says he can also produce face shields and possibly even simple ventilators but added that he "would welcome more government guidance on what is needed".
Here's a video of Pulsar Fusion's 3D printer at work...
Hyundai’s ‘walking car’ concept is insane
By far the best thing to come out of last month’s CES show in Las Vegas, Hyundai’s ‘Elevate’ walking car concept blows everything else out of the water… and then steps over all the other inventions with its weird robotic legs. Yes, LEGS – and rather impressive ones at that, capable of both ‘mammalian’ and ‘reptilian’ walking gaits, which means it can effectively move in any direction.
For emergency response teams in particular, the new ‘Elevate’ vehicle could prove an unequivocal game-changer. Any first responder will tell you that the first 72 hours following a natural disaster are the most crucial to saving lives. However, due to the nature of the disaster (be it forest fire, earthquake, hurricane or flood), it can often prove difficult for search & rescue and humanitarian aid missions to reach and get immediate help to those in need. This disaster-assistance scenario is what inspired the development of Elevate –dubbed the world’s first Ultimate Mobility Vehicle (UMV), which essentially blends the tech found in electric cars and robots, enabling it to traverse terrain far beyond the limitations of even the most capable off-road vehicle.
“When a tsunami or earthquake hits, current rescue vehicles can only deliver first responders to the edge of the debris field. They have to go the rest of the way by foot. Elevate can drive to the scene and climb right over flood debris or crumbled concrete,” said John Suh, Hyundai’s VP. “This technology goes well beyond emergency situations – people living with disabilities worldwide that don’t have access to an ADA ramp could hail an autonomous Hyundai Elevate that could walk up to their front door, level itself, and allow their wheelchair to roll right in – the possibilities are limitless.”
