It’s also worth noting that Einride is preparing to deploy its fully autonomous pods on public roads in the United States in collaboration with General Electric Appliances (GEA), with plans to begin operations on a mile-long stretch of road between GEA’s factory and a warehouse in Selmer, Tennessee, soon.
In addition to GEA, Einride has attracted a number of high-profile early customers, including Oatly, Beyond Meat, Bridgestone, and Maersk, the latter representing Einride’s largest order for electric transportation globally, with the Danish shipping company set to deploy 300 trucks across Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
With its German debut, Einride establishes a regional office in Berlin, with aspirations to establish logistical hubs in other major cities. This would need the development of a purpose-built charging grid, which Einride has said it will build along Germany’s most vital economic routes and surrounding trade areas.
