Add as preferred source on GoogleEinride, a Swedish electric and autonomous trucking firm, will supply 75 manually operated electric heavy‑duty trucks and charging infrastructure to Amazon across five U.S. sites, using its Saga AI platform to optimize routing and charging.
April 21 (Reuters) - Swedish trucking company Einride said on Tuesday it had partnered with Amazon.com to deploy 75 manually operated electric heavy-duty trucks and supporting charging infrastructure across five U.S. locations for the e-commerce giant's freight network.
Here are the details:
• Einride said its proprietary optimization software, Saga AI, will be used to manage electric vehicle execution for select Amazon loads, including charging planning.
• The financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
• The U.S. electric trucking market has struggled to match early expectations, following setbacks at companies such as Nikola and a slower-than-anticipated rollout of Amazon's electric delivery vans developed with Rivian.
• Amazon has been increasingly leaning on operators such as Einride, which provide vehicles, charging infrastructure and fleet-management software, allowing the company to advance electrification efforts without directly owning and operating all assets.
• In February, Einride said it had raised around $113 million of private investment in public equity.
• Einride is pursuing a public listing in the first half of this year through its planned merger with blank-check firm Legato Merger Corp III.
