Einride Pod

Maersk will deploy 300 Class 8 electric trucks from Einride in its U.S. warehouse and distribution network.

Venture capital fund EQT Ventures is a backer of electric and autonomous vehicle maker Einride, but it is also a supporter of sustainable business models.

Einride has been running its autonomous freight Pods in Europe since 2019, but founder and CEO Robert Falck has high hopes for the company’s entry to the U.S. “It is such a great challenge and I’m really excited. This U.S. freight transportation community is the most competitive in the world,” he said.
