Einride strikes deal to add 500 Tesla Semis to its fleet

Swedish electric and autonomous trucking company Einride said on Tuesday it plans to buy 500 Tesla Semis and make the electric big rigs available to its customers, which include Amazon. The Tesla Semis will be added in phases to Einride’s fleet over the next 24 months, starting in September, the company said. Einride will manage the Tesla Semis through its Saga AI fleet management platform that’s designed to give customers all the benefits of using electric trucks to carry freight without the financial and logistical burdens of owning them.
