GREENSBORO, N.C. and TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mission Mobile Medical and REE Automotive Ltd. (NASDAQ:REE) have signed an agreement under which REE will provide vehicles to Mission Mobile Medical which will be used by the latter to make healthcare more accessible to people in historically underserved, rural areas in the United States. The collaboration combines REE's software-defined vehicle technology with Mission Mobile Medical Group's ground-breaking innovations in mobile health solutions which will come together to deliver high-quality, cost-efficient healthcare in difficult to access areas in the U.S. Under the terms of the agreement, Mission Mobile Medical has ordered and secured priority production capacity for REE's software-defined P7 electric trucks, with the first Powered by REE P7 delivery planned for mid 2025. With REE P7 trucks, Mission Mobile aims to deploy the next generation of mobile healthcare units this year with enhanced efficiency, adaptability and sustainability for rural communities across America.
Mission Mobile, one of the world's largest mobile health companies, has redefined healthcare delivery through innovative medical solutions for at-risk communities. Over the past 5 years, Mission Mobile has created over 200 mobile health programs in 42 states and Canada to help patients and provide on-demand healthcare where traditional treatment is restricted.
"Our clients are mission-driven to efficiently deliver healthcare to every corner of our country," said Travis LeFever, CEO of Mission Mobile Medical. "How long you live shouldn't depend on where you live, and this partnership marks a pivotal step toward extending the reach of the healthcare system. With nearly 20% of Americans in rural areas facing critical barriers to care, we're not just innovating—we're taking action. Our country is in crisis and these solutions are a pragmatic and financially sustainable way to solve the challenge of equitable access to healthcare."
Mission Mobile Medical chose REE for the P7's unique zonal architecture and fully flat chassis that will enable Mission Mobile to build fully-customized, medical facility on the rear of the trucks. In addition, REE's x-by-wire system allows the medical units to receive over-the-air (OTA) updates when needed and provides industry-leading levels of fleet and telematics data. This combination of REE's proprietary automotive technology and Mission Mobile Medical's expertise in transportable wellness programs will result in the next generation of customizable health solutions, designed with enhanced efficiency, adaptability and sustainability deployed in rural communities across America.
REE's P7-C is the first U.S. certified fully by-wire vehicle, designed around four identical REEcorners®, which integrate all critical vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, powertrain and control) into a single compact module. Built with a technology-first mindset, the P7-C sets a new standard in safety and performance while offering flexibility to build cargo trucks, work trucks, medical vehicles and more.
"Collaborating with Mission Mobile Medical highlights the unique capabilities of REE's software-defined technology," said Tali Miller, Chief Business Officer of REE. "Our modular and customizable chassis enables purpose-built solutions to meet specific needs, and Mission Mobile Medical intends to utilize it to improve the lives of millions of people. In addition, our robust national dealer network with 80 points of service will allow these mobile health vehicles to be supported close to where medical services are being delivered. This collaboration demonstrates how zero-emission vehicles can provide essential services efficiently and at scale, creating positive impact for our communities."
This approach represents a convergence of cutting-edge engineering and healthcare innovation, enabling the development of next-generation health programs that are not only environmentally friendly but also equipped to meet our Nation's need for convenient Preventative and Primary care in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
