Vorlage:Infobox company Einride AB is a Swedish transport company based in Stockholm, Sweden, specializing in electric and self-driving vehicles known as Einride pods (formerly T-pods). The pods are electric trucks remotely controlled by drivers, and are notable for their lack of a driver’s cab.
History
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]The company was founded in 2016 by Robert Falck, Filip Lilja and Linnéa Kornehed. The company manufactures electric and self-driving vehicles.[1] The company name is a reference to the Nordic god of thunder and lightning, Thor, and means "the lone rider".[2] In the Spring of 2017, the company introduced their transport vehicle, the Einride Pod,[3] an electric truck which does not contain a cabin.[4] The first full-scale prototype of what was then called the T-Pod was revealed on July 4, 2017 at Almedalen Week in Visby, Sweden. Einride has announced their partnerships with Lidl[5] in 2017 and DB Schenker[6] in 2018. On July 12th, 2018 as part of Future Lab at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Einride launched the Einride timber Pod, an autonomous and all-electric logging truck.[7]
On November 5th, 2018, Einride launched the first commercial installation of the Einride Pod at a DB Schenker facility in Jönköping, Sweden. In May 2019, an Einride Pod started daily deliveries on a public road there; it is permitted to go at up to 5 km per hour.[8]
On October 10, 2019 Einride raised $25 million in a Series A investment round led by private-equity firm EQT’s venture capital fund EQT Ventures and NordicNinja VC.[9]
In June 2020, Einride introduced the freight mobility platform, a software suite that analyzes transport networks for electric or autonomous vehicle potential and provides recommendations for implementation.[10]
In October 2020, Einride raised $10 million in additional funding led by existing investors led by Norrsken VC along with EQT Ventures fund, Nordic Ninja VC and Ericsson Ventures.[11]
Technology
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Einride uses self-driving technology as well as remote operation for the Einride Pod which allows drivers to monitor multiple vehicles and remotely control the vehicle in difficult traffic situations.[12] The Einride Pod can travel 200 km (124 miles) on a fully charged battery.[12]
