Peterbilt has announced its largest electric vehicle order to date. The OEM has agreed to sell 150 Model 579EVs electric trucks to Einride.
Einride is a Swedish autonomous and digital freight technology developer. The companies said this order will strengthen electric heavy-duty fleets across the US as they are deployed with Einride’s customers.
Freight Capacity as a Service Role
Einride said its turnkey Freight Capacity as a Service solution provides its customers with a seamless, efficient switch to electric transportation. Einride said it does this with its ability to integrate electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and Einride Saga, the digital freight platform.

“We are proud to announce this partnership with Peterbilt and Rush Peterbilt Truck Centers as we combine our technology platform with their premium hardware to provide a market leading offering as we collaborate on the future of electric freight,” said Niklas Reinedahl, general manager North America at Einride. “Bringing new technology to market is imperative to enabling the switch to electric freight operations and we look forward to seeing this further scale Einride’s footprint in the market.”
