Charged EVs | Einride to test autonomous electric trucks on public roads in Ohio

Einride develops and operates electric and autonomous freight solutions, including electric heavy-duty trucks and charging infrastructure. The company serves customers in North America, Europe and the Middle East.

Einride is working with Ohio logistics provider EASE Logistics to test SAE Level 4 Einride autonomous trucks in proof-of-concept service between EASE Logistics warehouses in Marysville, Ohio. The deployment is part of the Ohio Department of Transportation and DriveOhio’s Truck Automation Corridor Project, and is designed to evaluate the impact of autonomous technology on operations, safety and freight efficiency.

Operations will take place on EASE property and local public roads using two of Einride’s L4 autonomous electric trucks. Starting this summer, the trucks will transport goods between EASE warehouses, generating data on impacts to warehousing, distribution and transportation operations.

The vehicles are self-driving cab-less electric trucks that operate without a driver. A remote operator monitors the trucks off-site, and can intervene if needed.

“Deployments like this help move autonomous trucking from controlled pilots into daily freight operations, where safety, reliability and efficiency can be evaluated at scale,” said EASE President and CEO Peter Coratola Jr.

“Deploying these autonomous trucks in daily logistics operations with EASE is a milestone that reflects years of rigorous development and real-world validation,” said Roozbeh Charli, CEO of Einride. “Safety is not a feature we add to our technology—it is the foundation everything is built on.”
