Ree Automotive kicks off U.S. production with Roush Industries

REE Automotive announced has selected Roush Industries to assemble REE’s P7 vehicles at Roush’s Detroit-area factory. REE will continue to manufacture its proprietary REEcorner technology in its UK Coventry Integration Center. With a focus on speed to market and impeccable build quality, Roush’s assembly team unites decades of design, engineering, machining, fabrication, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain expertise to deliver a scalable process for REE. Roush will be supported onsite by a joint REE and Motherson team, who will be responsible for overall quality assurance, logistics, and testing. Roush, as U.S. contract manufacture for the P7 lineup, will be responsible for the assembly of full vehicles according to REE’s requirements. REE’s software-defined electric trucks will be assembled at Roush’s Detroit based site specifically chosen for REE’s requirements and designed to have a yearly capacity of up to 5,000 trucks. Motherson, a leading global automotive part supplier with whom REE signed a strategic agreement, will manage global supply chain and logistics targeting cost reduction, improved unit economics and higher margines.
