The two companies aim to revolutionise electric vehicle design by combining KYB’s semi-active and active suspension systems with REE’s next-generation EV platform. The partnership will expand REE’s global manufacturing capabilities while igniting a new level of vehicle suspension technology within REE’s architecture, which is based around the integration of all drivetrain vehicle components into the wheel.
It is the first time that KYB has formally collaborated on EV platforms with a technology company.
“KYB has vast experience in developing and manufacturing advanced suspension systems” said Kazunori Masumoto, General Manager of Engineering Headquarters at KYB Automotive Component Business Division. “And we are excited to partner with REE Automotive and share its revolutionary EV vision by engineering a suspension subsystem that supports the needs of tomorrow’s mobility ecosystem”.
REE’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Barel added that KYB’s technology will play a crucial role in the rapid development of the company’s next-generation EV architecture, which reinvents the electric vehicle with a completely flat, scalable and fully modular platform, ready to carry the future of e-mobility.
