UAE / USA / Sweden – At Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo 2024 in Las Vegas last month, Swedish freight mobility company, Einride AB* announced that the company has partnered with multinational logistics firm DP World, to provide the largest electric autonomous freight fleet in the Middle East. At the end of 2025, a pilot programme will see Einride provide a fleet of 100 digitally optimised electric heavy-duty trucks at the Jebel Ali Port, Dubai, supporting 1600 container movements a day, which aims to save up to 14,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) and 158 tonnes of nitrogen oxides (NOx) annually.
All the vehicles will have customised Einride solutions to ensure optimal suitability for freight transport. Additionally, the vehicles are powered by the Einride Saga intelligent platform (digital freight operating system), to optimise routes, charging needs and achieve the highest utilisation rates.
