Einride T-Pod

The T-Pod prototype from Swedish company Einride is the giant box on wheels. This is the company’s electric, self-driving truck, which it unveiled this week, as VentureBeat reports. It’s about 23 feet long, and can hold 15 standard pallets.

Its 200-kWh battery provides up to 124 miles on a charge. There are no windows. There’s not even a place for a driver to sit.

The T-Pod is able to drive itself on highways, but when it gets onto city streets, a human takes over the driving duties remotely. Einride is currently developing the charging infrastructure for its T-Pod, and plans to have a finished truck available to customers later this year.

By 2020, the company plans to have 200 T-Pods operating on a route between the cities of Gothenburg and Helsingborg, Sweden, moving 2 million pallets of goods per year. It seems ambitious, but Einride will have to move quickly to keep up with the competition.
