About
Einride is an end-to-end supply chain technology platform designed to decarbonize and modernize road freight for global enterprises. The company offers a fully integrated solution that combines autonomous cabless trucks, managed electric vehicle fleets, smart charging infrastructure, and an AI-driven operating system (Saga AI) into one seamless platform. At the core is Saga AI, an intelligent operating system that continuously collects data from vehicles, routes, and energy systems to manage, monitor, and optimize all freight operations. Autonomous trucks are remotely supervised via a Control Tower and are approved for public road deployment, removing the need for onboard drivers while maintaining safety and compliance. For companies not yet ready for full autonomy, Einride's electric road freight offering allows businesses to electrify their fleets with Einride handling all complexity—from deployment planning to day-to-day operations. The smart charging layer leverages real-time data to optimize energy usage and cost across entire fleets. The platform targets large enterprises with complex logistics needs seeking to reduce emissions, cut costs, and future-proof their supply chains. Existing customers include global brands such as PepsiCo, Heineken, DP World, GE Appliances, Philips, Mars, Carlsberg, and Lidl. Einride is operational across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, making it one of the most widely deployed autonomous freight platforms in the world.
