REE | Three Flat Electric Vehicle Platforms
REE Automotive, the Israeli supplier of electric vehicle platforms, has presented three prototypes of the next generation. They make use of x-by-wire technology for steering, braking and propulsion, and all the powertrain, suspension and steering components are integrated into the wheel arch. The P1, P2 and P4 platforms are reported to have a completely flat design, which gives customers the freedom to put any shape or size of body on top. The P1, with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of

up to 1.3 t, is intended for last-mile inner-city delivery vehicles. The P2 platform has a GVW of up to 2.5 t and can transport passengers and goods. The P4, which has a GVW of up to 4.5 t, is designed specifically for the delivery sector of the North American market. All the REE platforms are compatible with any ADAS interface. Multiple redundant systems combined with x-by-wire control guarantee high levels of efficiency and safety.
Plug-in hybrids produce zero local emissions provided that they are charged frequently and run on electric power as much as possible. This depends in part on the technology, but mainly on the driver. To ensure that drivers make full use of the benefits of PHEVs, ZF has developed the Zero Emission Zone Manager, which permits only electric mode in zero-emission zones. The system automatically switches to pure electric mode as soon as the car enters a zone of this kind. It identifies the zones by means of geofencing, which marks the limits of an area using GPS. The zero-emission zones on the driver’s route appear on the navigation display. As soon as the car moves into one of these areas, it informs the driver by means of audible and visual signals that it will be powered only by electricity while it is in the zone. The energy management system of the hybrid drive and the route planning function of the navigation system work together to ensure that enough electric power is available to travel through the zero-emission zones.

The dummy has been developed to have realistic sensor signatures with regard to both structure and design. According to the company, this makes it equally suitable for tests with radar, lidar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors. The dummy is weatherproof, requires low maintenance, and is robust. It can be used variably and repeatedly for test runs in driveways or parking spaces up to the point of collision.

The increasing application of emergency braking systems to avoid collisions with other vehicles or with vulnerable road users requires new test scenarios and tools. The reliability of safety systems needs to be tested and validated for a wide range of traffic situations. The Playing Child Target newly developed by Messring is designed to simulate a child on a toy car and enables the easy and uncomplicated execution of emergency braking system tests.
