The Japan-based company displayed a combination of battery and fuel cell electric trucks, including two Class 6 models and a Class 8 model, as well as a battery electric van.

Griffith takes over from Executive Chairman Matt O’Leary, who held the CEO role on an interim basis.

REE said it has already begun deliveries of vehicles based on its P7 platform to dealerships in the U.S. and Canada; its order book is currently worth USD50m.

The truck displayed at the show was a ‘Freightliner Cascadia’ 6x2 tractor unit powered by Symbio’s 400-kW ‘StackPack’ fuel cell system - developed for the “H2 Central Valley Express” project.

The power distribution unit is designed to deliver power to all critical loads within an electric vehicle, including traction and auxiliary loads, while protecting electrical and electronic components as well as the vehicle occupants from high voltages.

The Nikola ‘Tre FCEV’ trucks will serve AiLO in drayage operations in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

The partners announced that they are already testing the truck in the U.S., being the first Level 4 self-driving test on a Class 8 fuel cell electric truck to take place in the country.

The company says it is introducing “a suite of comprehensive ownership solutions” for its entire line of battery electric vehicles.

The ‘LR Electric’ truck on display had a fully electric ‘RevAMP Automated Side Loader’ body fitted by Heil Environmental Industries.

Phillips products which Inland Trailer will install in its new build trailers include camera systems, ‘Permalite’ interior lighting, and the ‘Smart7’ telematics hardware.

The driver connects to the Rear-Vu camera via a mobile application, allowing the driver to use his phone like a rearview mirror.

The prototype step van is the first vehicle of its kind to be built by the school bus manufacturer, with powertrain components supplied by Xos.
