Motherson Strengthens Bet on Electric Mobility with Fresh Investment in REE Automotive

In a strategic move reinforcing its vision for the future of electric mobility, Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (SMIL) has announced a renewed investment of USD 5–7 million in Israel-based REE Automotive Ltd. The investment will be made via its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Samvardhana Motherson Automotive Systems Group B.V. (SMRP B.V.), aiming to maintain its current stake in the electric vehicle tech innovator.

According to a regulatory filing, REE Automotive is raising additional capital to commercialize its growing order book. SMRP B.V., which currently holds 18.6% of REE’s ordinary share capital (11% on a fully diluted basis), is doubling down on its belief in REE’s groundbreaking modular EV technologies.

REE is known for its REEcorner and REEboard platforms, which revolutionize electric vehicle design by integrating key components: steering, braking, suspension, and powertrain, into compact units at the wheel arches. This "by-wire" architecture allows for greater cabin space, design flexibility, and efficient customizations, catering especially to commercial delivery vans and autonomous vehicles.

With this move, Motherson reinforces its commitment to innovation and also aligns itself with the future-ready transformation of global mobility ecosystems.
