What’s Happening
Einride, a freight mobility company that provides digital, electric and autonomous technology, today announced a collaboration with the UAE Government to fast track the region to sustainable shipping. The signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will look to deploy Einride’s ecosystem, including electric and autonomous vehicles, charging infrastructure and transforming technology that unlocks digital, electric and autonomous solutions at scale throughout the Falcon Rise grid.
Why It Matters
The Falcon Rise grid will deploy Einride’s full freight mobility offering, providing over a stretch of 550 km across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, encompassing 2,000 electric trucks, 200 autonomous trucks and eight charging stations with over 500 charging points. Einride’s freight ecosystem is based on a grid system planned, optimized and monitored using the Einride Saga platform. The grid simplifies the management of road freight, removes industry inefficiencies, provides uninterrupted operations and significantly reduces emissions within the region.
The collaboration between Einride and the UAE Government is a significant step towards making the region’s shipping more sustainable. The project has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 95%, while remaining cost competitive. This will make a major contribution to the UAE’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
