Einride scales autonomous operations, launching Europe’s first daily commercial application

Published

on

Freight tech company Einride deploys Europe’s first commercial autonomous daily operations between pharmacy e-retailer Apotea’s warehouses in Sweden. The launch follows a successful two-year partnership with Apotea where over 917,000 kg CO2e has been saved, equivalent to 20 electric laps driven around the earth. Einride’s autonomous technology is now shipping the final wave of holiday gifts from the warehouses in Morgongåva with ML powered insights providing efficiency during heightened delivery periods.

UPPSALA, Sweden, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Einride will today commence commercial daily autonomous operations in Morgongåva, Sweden, just 1.5 hours outside of Stockholm. This will be Europe’s first commercial autonomous daily operations, and Einride’s second commercial autonomous daily operations after having operated in the US the past year.

The heavy duty vehicle operates fully autonomously, without a driver onboard, and the freight operations will take place between Apotea’s warehouses. As the route is adjacent and open to a public road, operations take place with a public road permit.

“Our autonomous technology facilitated by machine learning allows for higher utilization and efficient, safe freight. Adding our first autonomous route at Apotea’s site, and the first daily commercial autonomous freight operations in Europe, allows us to showcase how the Einride ecosystem can optimize entire logistics flows. We are proud to start off this partnership with shipping the last wave of holiday gifts from Apotea’s warehouse autonomously,” says Henrik Green, General Manager for Einride Autonomous Technologies.

Einride’s platform offering includes connected electric and autonomous heavy-duty vehicles, charging infrastructure and an intelligent freight operating system. Apotea has already applied Einride’s technology to reduce emissions and increase efficiencies by deploying manned, electric vehicles powered by the Einride digital freight platform. Since the start of operations in 2022, Einride has driven almost 800,000 electric km’s equivalent to 20 laps around earth, saving 917,000 kg CO2e. This latest step aims to further elevate the utilization of vehicles and optimization of logistics flows by starting to automate routes, as part of Einride’s autonomous capacity-as-a-service offering, including everything from site selection and network analysis to deployment of hardware and software and daily operations of the autonomous services.

“We always put our customers first and regard autonomy as a crucial part of keeping our promise of affordable prices and fast, free-of-charge deliveries today and tomorrow. We are proud to partner with Einride – global frontrunners in autonomous technology – to bring Europe its first autonomous freight operations in daily commercial use. This is a crucial step as we work to automate several parts of our logistics chain for more efficient deliveries,” says Pär Svärdson, founder and CEO of Apotea.

With machine learning as the backbone, the Einride platform coordinates a sensor suite of radars, lidars and cameras to navigate autonomously with a 360 view. While the Einride Autonomous system operates fully autonomously, Einride offers remote operators to monitor the transport operations and assist when needed.

Gogoro’s battery-swapping ecosystem revolutionized urban mobility by offering a sustainable, highly efficient, and customer-centric alternative to traditional electric vehicle charging.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan, a leading global research firm, recently researched the swappable battery market for electric two-wheel (E2W) vehicles and, based on its findings, is recognizing Gogoro with the 2024 Global Company of the Year Award. Gogoro is an industry leader in electric two-wheeler battery-swapping technology, driving the transition to sustainable urban mobility with its forward-thinking and customer-centric solutions.

Gogoro addresses key market challenges, such as range anxiety and charging infrastructure, making it a standout in the urban electric mobility landscape. Its battery-swapping technology provides a convenient, reliable, and better alternative to traditional electric vehicle charging. However, Gogoro’s commitment to innovation extends beyond its battery-swapping solutions. It consistently pushes the boundaries of the E2W market, integrating cutting-edge technology and design into its products and services. For instance, the Gogoro Pulse smartscooter became the world’s first hyper electric scooter with superior features, such as 0 to 50 KM/H acceleration in 3.05 seconds, a hyper cooling system, a high-performance motor, and a luxury automotive-inspired dashboard.

Furthermore, with over 650 million battery swaps conducted globally, Gogoro’s extensive network of more than 12,000 GoStations at 2,600 locations ensures that users can access charged batteries at their convenience, encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

“Since its inception, Gogoro has prioritized innovation, drawing inspiration from the technology sector, where its founders originated from, to revolutionize two-wheeler transportation. Its battery design, conceptualized over a decade ago, remains a testament to its vision and dedication to transformative innovation and continues to be reverse compatible with its original batteries that are still working with new vehicles and new batteries working with its original Gogoro Smartscooter. Moreover, the company’s emphasis on battery longevity challenges industry norms, with batteries lasting up to nine years due to its intelligent charging system that optimizes charging speed and durability,” said Ojaswi Rana, Best Practices research analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

Gogoro also leverages unique customer-centric strategies that maximize value at every touchpoint. The company relies on data insights from its extensive network of battery-swapping stations to offer personalized support, ensuring a seamless and satisfying experience.

With its open battery swapping platform, Gogoro also collaborates with over ten vehicle-makers to accelerate the adoption of smart E2W transportation and expand its ecosystem, allowing consumers greater flexibility and choice. These strategic alliances facilitate the broader adoption of Gogoro’s battery-swapping technology, enabling traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) manufacturers to transition to electric mobility more seamlessly. It significantly strengthens Gogoro’s market position and contributes to developing sustainable urban ecosystems beyond transportation solutions.

“Frost & Sullivan praises Gogoro for maximizing customer value through enhanced personalized support. The company’s inclusive approach to technology adoption and diverse partnerships, including collaborations with over ten vehicle manufacturers, expands its reach. This commitment to innovation fosters comprehensive and sustainable urban ecosystems, delivering solutions that transcend mobility,” said Chan Ming Lih, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents a Company of the Year award to the organization that demonstrates excellence in terms of growth strategy and implementation in its field. The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies, and the resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.
