Beyond Driverless Trucks: Building Autonomous EV Systems

seeing a driverless electric truck navigate a maze of Fine China is great but building the infrastructure for autonomous electric trucks to start being more widely used requires something more that more is exactly what a company called nride is focused on in addition to developing its own Vehicles the company is also creating the support system for autonomous electric shipping we spoke to the company's CEO to learn

all about it let's check it out enride is a Swedish transportation company which already has its cableless electric autonomous vehicles operating on public roads including some in the U.S and it claims to be the first company to have achieved that Milestone most people are focusing on building a best electric truck or the best autonomous technology for us it's what we can do with those Technologies we

work with autonomous subprobriders we work with batteries manufacturers but what we do is to design and develop the entire Transport Systems and ride breaks down its Transportation projects into systems called grids each grid comprises all the hardware software drivers and charging infrastructure required to make Transportation run smoothly enride's latest autonomous vehicle is their Gen 2 which utilizes lidar cameras and satellites to navigate they're already driving

in enclosed areas on preset routes with the potential to include public roads in their routes in the future the Gen 2 also noticeably doesn't have any cab for a driver to sit in instead enride has created a remote operator station where someone could potentially supervise multiple autonomous vehicles at a time if a truck needs support it will notify the operator who has the ability to provide

will become the heart of its Grid in the Port of Los Angeles and enride's first charging station in the U.S it's planned to open sometime this year we have been scaling a commercial applications in our transport capacity King since 2020 we are starting to get a fairly big applications now so we are flying hundreds of vehicles in this year overall it's a scaling game from here

enron's website claims an average reduction of 95 CO2 equivalent when switching from diesel CO2 equivalent is basically just a metric that includes other greenhouse gases such as methane by converting their warming potential into the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide Enright hopes that by combining the economic benefits of autonomous driving with electric Trucking it can make a compelling business case for companies to want to move their

Logistics to enride's grids autonomous electric and digital is the future and I mean 30 40 percent of the Global Transport industry should be and deployed with that technology driven by a business case so things will add the core what we have here is the business case for the future what do you think of n ride's autonomous Electric Vehicle Systems let us know down in the comments

and if you're a driver a logistics coordinator let us know how do you feel about remotely operating multiple vehicles at a time as always thanks so much for watching I'm your host Jesse oral see you next time with the fam
