From a factory in Metro Detroit, Roush will set up production of the by-wire vehicles for the American market, aiming for annual capacity of 5,000 units.

With Motherson’s network and free capital raised through a new funding round, REE intends to scale up production of its ‘REEcorner’ electric drive modules and its ‘P7’ battery electric trucks.

This is Motherson’s eighth wire harness facility in the Middle East and is the production of wire harnesses dedicated to commercial vehicles.

Motherson Sumi Systems Ltd (MSSL), a subsidiary of SMI, which was previously contracted to operate DICVs facilities in Chennai, as part of the above transaction has signed a long-term agreement with DICV to supply it with complete frame assemblies.
