Einride launches driverless electric freight vehicles

Einride, which began working with Michelin last year, has launched a range of Autonomous Electric Transport (AET) pods into the global market. Moving forward, there is talk of getting costs as low as 10,000 euros per pod. The goal is for such technology to replace conventional commercial vehicles with an interim aim of 30 per cent of the market.

According to the company, this series of Autonomous Electric Transport (AET) vehicles, ranging from AET 1 to AET 4, has been uniquely designed and developed for SAE level 4 self-driving and will enable businesses to reduce transport costs by up to 60 per cent and CO2 emissions by 90 per cent.

Einride founder, Robert Falck commended: “We can already see strong traction from the market to start using autonomous and electric transport. The benefits are clear and we want to be the player in the market that can help our customers to make the transition to a better future of transport happen.”
