Fully-autonomous delivery fleets ‘Powered by REE’ will allow
customers to build autonomous and electric vehicle fleets according
to their exact specifications with unmatched interior space for
transporting passengers and cargo. REE’s technology will be
seamlessly integrated with any top hat and autonomous hardware.
Leopard’s design and specifications are the result of
collaborative work with leading global delivery and technology
companies focused on autonomous delivery and Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) fleets. The concept vehicle is 3.4 m in length with
front-wheel-steer, rear-wheel-drive and has a 2-tonne gross vehicle
weight rating and the following additional specifications:
- X-by-wire REEcorner technology for drive, steer and brake
control
- Narrow design of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and small footprint of 2.5 m2
(26.6 ft2) for enhanced maneuverability
- Easy cargo accessibility
- 50 kWh battery capacity
- Top speed of 60 mph
- Cargo volume of 180 ft3
Leopard – a last mile autonomous concept vehicle – is designed
to carry significantly more cargo due to REE’s low, flat floor.
This means improved environmental impact of fewer trips in fewer
vehicles, backed by a strong cost of ownership (TCO) structure:
each vehicle in the fleet will be less expensive to run and
maintain due to reduced energy cost and improved serviceability,
leading to lower maintenance costs.
“This concept showcases just one design application of our
ground-breaking technology, one that answers the strategically
crucial question of how to carry out autonomous, zero-emissions
last mile deliveries, which has huge growth potential,” said Daniel
Barel, REE co-founder and CEO. “Autonomous and electric vehicles
‘Powered by REE’ offer unsurpassed operational efficiency and the
lowest total cost of ownership combined with full flexibility when
it comes to integrating top hats in virtually any size, shape or
form. We’re here to make the shift to a carbon neutral future a
reality faster and at scale.”
The Leopard concept vehicle is based on REE’s modular EV
platform, designed to support a wide variety of mission specific

corners of the vehicles with full drive-by-wire, brake-by-wire and
steer-by-wire.
REE’s EV platforms afford complete freedom of design, enabling
auto-manufacturers, OEMs, delivery & logistic fleets,
Mobility-as-a-Service providers and new mobility players to design
mission-specific EVs and AVs based on their exact business
requirements and significantly reduce their time-to-market, lower
TCO and meet zero-carbon regulations.
Headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, REE has an Engineering Center
in the UK, as well as subsidiaries worldwide including Japan and
Germany, and plans to open its U.S. headquarters and first
Integration Center in Austin, Texas. REE’s unique CapEx-light
manufacturing model leverages Tier-1 partners’ existing production
lines; the company’s extensive partner ecosystem encompasses
