Automated Electric Freight Trucks
The world-leading Swedish technology company Einride specialises in developing Autonomous Electric Transport (AET) to solve issues related to sustainability and safety.
If Einride were to replace all freight trucks in the world with their Pods (electric freight trucks), they would eliminate NOx and reduce CO2 emissions by 90% in the road freight industry, which represents a total of 7% of the world’s global CO2 emissions. This reduction is equivalent to the annual electricity use of more than 400 million homes.

Subcategory
Within this subcategory, there are numerous actors trying to achieve what Einride already has accomplished.
Einride currently holds the global speed record for an autonomous, electric freight vehicle, and was the first to operate a cabless truck on a public road. They also have the largest fleet of heavy-duty electric trucks in Europe.
Einride’s Pod is the world’s first fully autonomous transport vehicle, and it’s already operating on public roads and at customer sites in Sweden.
Using the Einride Freight Mobility Platform, clients have remote oversight and driving capability from a distance; it doesn’t even have space for a driver, utilising every inch of the vehicle for transport.
Customers and partners include enterprises such as CocaCola, Lidl, Michelin Group, and Oatly.
