Einride and EASE Logistics deploy Level 4 autonomous trucks in Ohio, USA
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. They are capable of navigating routes autonomously, handling everything from routine driving to unexpected situations.
Einride and EASE Logistics today announced the deployment of SAE Level 4 (L4) Einride autonomous trucks into proof-of-concept service between EASE Logistics warehouses in Marysville, Ohio. Operations will take place on EASE property and local public roads and will utilize two of Einride’s advanced L4 autonomous electric trucks, already successfully operating in real-world daily operations across the United States.
In practical terms, 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. They are capable of navigating routes autonomously, handling everything from routine driving to unexpected situations. This marks EASE Logistics’ third autonomous trucking deployment in partnership with DriveOhio.
Einride autonomous trucks: new deployment in Ohio
“EASE is proud to continue advancing the Truck Automation Corridor Project alongside DriveOhio and innovative partners like Einride,” said EASE President & CEO Peter Coratola, Jr. “Deployments like this help move autonomous trucking from controlled pilots into daily freight operations, where safety, reliability, and efficiency can be evaluated at scale. By working with leading autonomous technology providers, including Einride, in real-world environments, we’re helping accelerate the infrastructure and operational readiness required for the next generation of freight transportation.”
“Deploying our autonomous trucks in daily logistics operations with EASE reflects years of rigorous development and real-world validation. Safety is not a feature we add to our technology, it is the foundation everything is built on,” said Roozbeh Charli, Chief Executive Officer of Einride. “Our partnership with EASE and the Truck Automation Corridor Project is proof that autonomous electric freight isn’t a future ambition, it’s a safe, working reality today.”
