There was plenty to report from the 2024 edition of the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo held at the Las Vegas Convention Center between May 20-23.

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.

With these vehicles from Peterbilt, Einride will begin offering electric freight transportation, including infrastructure and telematics, to customers in North America.

The facility houses 65 DC 180kW fast chargers with a capacity to charge 200 electric HGVs a day. Einride claims that this is the largest electric HGV charging station in North America.

Einride has partnered with Dutch brewer, Heineken, to provide a fleet of digitally optimised electric heavy-duty trucks, using renewable electricity, between Heineken’s Den Bosch brewery in the Netherlands and Duisburg distribution centre in Germany.

Einride has partnered with American food producer Mars Inc, to provide a fleet of digitally optimised electric heavy-duty trucks across Mars’ European network by 2030.

Contracted by Kaufland, eight Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 trucks will be used to transport goods from Kaufland’s distribution centre in Möckmühl to ten stores in the Ludwigsburg area. All 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.

There are two parts of the station, the Charge & Go for fast charging and Charge & Park for overnight charging. The fast-charging segment has charging points with output up to 240 kW and the overnight charging section, with output up to 160 kW.

Corinne Aaron has been appointed as the new Chief Marketing Officer taking over from Linnéa Kornehed Falck, who will be focusing on her new role as Deputy CEO and Executive Member of the Board. 

Contracted by Walkers Crisps (owned by PepsiCo), two DAF XD Electric trucks will be used to transport Walkers products between Leicester and Coventry. Both vehicles are powered by the Einride Saga intelligent platform, to optimise routes, charging needs and achieve the highest utilisation rates.

Einride has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Norwegian postal service, PostNord, to electrify 1,500km of Norwegian highway to bring zero-emission transport to the market.

Einride has ordered the XD Electric “in a wide range of specifications”, which the company says it will use for various customers.
