DAF and Einride to jointly develop Level 4 autonomous electric trucks
DAF Trucks and Sweden’s Einride have partnered to integrate Einride’s autonomous driving system into DAF electric trucks, aiming to commercialize Level 4 autonomous driving.
What happened
DAF Trucks and Einride announced they will jointly develop SAE Level 4 autonomous electric trucks by integrating Einride’s autonomous driving system, Einride Driver, into DAF’s electric truck platform. Initial testing is planned for 2026, with integration scheduled for 2027.
Why it matters
To address driver shortages and rising operating costs in logistics, DAF and Einride are working out how to integrate an autonomous driving system into DAF’s electric truck platform. They plan to test key interfaces in 2026, followed by vehicle integration and functional testing in 2027. This is important because it will allow them to assess the conditions for driverless operation.
