Einride, a leader in sustainable freight mobility, has launched its first daily commercial operations of autonomous trucks in Europe, marking a significant milestone in autonomous freight technology. The company's trucks will transport goods for the pharmacy e-retailer Apotea between its warehouses in Sweden. This deployment represents the first commercial daily operations of autonomous trucks in Europe and Einride's second such operation globally. The autonomous trucks operate fully without drivers and navigate routes that are adjacent to public roads, utilizing a public road permit. This development builds on a two-year partnership with Apotea, during which Einride has significantly reduced CO2 emissions.
