Autonomous and electric freight

• Autonomous trucks: cabless, AI-powered trucks that the site describes as driverless and approved for public roads.
• Electric road freight: electric trucks run as a service, with the company handling planning, deployment and full operation.
• Charging infrastructure: software-led charging that connects vehicle, route and energy data to fit each fleet's energy needs.

Saga and customers

Saga is the software operating system that connects the parts of the platform. It collects operating data continuously and, according to the site, uses AI to manage, monitor and optimize road freight. The company says its services are live in Europe, the United States and the Middle East, and the site presents the approach as simple, clean and cost-efficient for fleets moving to electric trucks. Customers the site names include PepsiCo, Heineken, DP World, GE Appliances, Philips, Mars, Carlsberg and Lidl.

Industry approach

The site says road freight is an industry about 75 years old that now needs reinventing. Einride says it links vehicles, routes, energy systems and software so the parts work as one, and it presents the platform as making the switch to electric freight simple and cost-efficient for fleets.
