REE integrating all of the components formerly found under the hood of the car into the wheel: the motors, steering, suspension, drivetrain, sensing, brakes, and electronics, enables Hino to showcase a completely flat, modular chassis at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show

 Israeli startup REE  today announced its cooperation with Hino Motors, a Japan’s maker of commercial vehicles. The two companies present a super-flexible chassis that optimizes electric mobility solutions, at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show from the 24th of October through the 4th of November.

Hino’s FlatFormer concept design for trucks leverages REE’s novel electric module technology, which allows the entire drive components to reside within the wheel housing, thus creating a fully flat chassis.
