REE Automotive Ltd., an automotive technology company specializing in full by-wire electric trucks and platforms, has recently secured significant certifications, opening up new avenues for its innovative products.
The latest development involves the Class 4 P7-C chassis cab, which has received two crucial certifications from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), positioning it for entry into the lucrative California market. The two certifications, Phase 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and the new Zero Emission Powertrain (ZEP) certification, are essential for eligibility for various state incentives. These incentives, coupled with federal support, can amount to over $100,000 per vehicle, depending on the customer’s location.
The significance of CARB certification extends beyond California, as several other states are expected to adopt similar GHG and ZEP requirements in the near future. Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE Automotive, declared “Being CARB certified unlocks many doors for us and for our customers as we can now sell in California.” He also marked the advantages for California dealers, who can offer the trucks powered by REE to their customers.
Barel also highlighted the financial advantages, noting that the substantial incentive funding makes it more accessible for fleets to transition to electric vehicles. The P7-C has already achieved Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification, making it the first fully by-wire vehicle to receive FMVSS certification in the United States.
This accomplishment underscores REE Automotive’s commitment to safety and innovation in the e-mobility sector. As the industry moves towards greater electrification, REE Automotive’s patented technology and unique value proposition position the company as a trailblazer in e-mobility.
With the P7-C now eligible for sale in California and benefiting grom lucrative incentives, REE is set to meet the growning demand for electric trucks while driving sustainability, innovation in transportation and transformative impact on e-mobility.
