Einride is a Swedish technology company that develops and provides freight mobility solutions based on electric and autonomous vehicles, leading the transition to sustainable transport.
It was founded in 2016 by Robert Falck, Linnéa Kornehed, and Filip Lilja, and became the world’s first company to operate an autonomous, all-electric freight vehicle on a commercial route on a public road with its groundbreaking Pod vehicle. Today, Einride operates the largest fleet of electric trucks in Europe with major multinational partners, and recently set a speed record with the Pod at the Top Gear track in the U.K.
P.S. Einride has received a bunch of awards, including Fast Company’s “World Changing Idea” and CB Insights’ “Game Changer”. 🏆👏
Why we invested in Einride, the World’s first autonomous, all-electric truck to operate a commercial flow with a permit on public roads.
“We’re proud to be backed by such a notable investor as they support our mission of becoming the leading provider of freight transport-as-a-service. Their network, reach and experience will be invaluable as we further accelerate our strong momentum as the leader in autonomous and electric freight transportation, and as we expand into new markets in Europe and the US.”
Einride’s solution in transportation solves the environmental, safety and manpower problems that have haunted the industry for years. Moreover, their fleet system has a unique potential to make long-distance ground transport as reliable as water. This is truly revolutionary.
