Einride, an autonomous electric truck firm, enters Germany

For its German debut, Einride has partnered with household appliance manufacturer Electrolux, which will collaborate with Einride to construct charging infrastructure at its warehouse sites.

While the company’s first emphasis will be on electric vehicles, automation through self-driving pods will be next on the list.

Germany is a natural growth for Einride in the European market as one of Europe’s largest economies and freight and logistics powerhouse spanning land and water. Furthermore, today’s declaration comes a year after Germany effectively cleared the way for autonomous cars on public roads, while actual legislation is still working its way through the required regulatory procedures.
