Swedish freight technology company Einride has unveiled the all-new Einride Trailer design concept, an electric road semi-trailer powered by the firm's Saga operating system.
Showcased at its first user conference called Einride Mesh, the new product is described as the first-of-its-kind electric semi-trailer and a solution to optimize fleet utilization and the total cost of operations. Einride says the Trailer is designed for seamless integration with its electric and autonomous vehicles, namely the Pod and the BYD-sourced Truck.
The big news is that the Einride Trailer will also be compatible with conventional electric semi-trucks, which should unlock a far greater market for the product. The Einride Trailer is said to extend the range of the aforementioned tractor units by up to 650 kilometers (404 miles) on a single charge thanks to integrated 320 kWh batteries.
