the driver's seat just went empty for good. einride and ease logistics put two cab-less level 4 electric trucks into daily freight runs between ohio warehouses, with remote operators standing by.
the empty cab is now the operating model.
Context
Einride and EASE Logistics announced on October 5 that two SAE Level 4 cabless electric trucks are in daily freight service between EASE warehouses in Marysville, Ohio. Remote operators monitor the trucks off-site and can step in.
FreightWaves ties the runs to an 8.8 million dollar Ohio-Indiana project.
Two Level 4 cabless electric trucks, daily runs and remote operators match the Einride release. The route is a short run between two warehouses in Marysville.
'For good' is not in the sources, which describe the start of daily operations. Whether the operation continues was not seen, so it is unsupported here, not refuted.
'The empty cab is now the operating model' is the author's opinion.
