The addition of Scan Sverige to Einride's growing portfolio of customers highlights the rising demand for scalable, fossil-free freight solutions in high-volume supply chains such as food and grocery logistics.
The electrified route accounts for approximately 25 percent of Scan Sverige's refrigerated outbound volume.
By replacing conventional diesel trucks on this route, Scan Sverige is expected to reduce emissions by approximately 860 tonnes of CO₂e annually, supporting Scan Sverige's ambitious climate objectives.

STOCKHOLM, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Einride AB ("Einride" or the "Company"), a technology company accelerating the transition to electric and autonomous freight for some of the world's largest shippers, and Scan Sverige, Sweden's leading meat producer, today announced a partnership to electrify temperature-controlled freight operations, one of the most challenging segments to decarbonize due to strict delivery schedules, high energy demands, and uncompromising reliability requirements.

Einride's end-to-end platform, combining electric heavy-duty vehicles, its proprietary optimization software, Saga AI, and integrated charging infrastructure, allows for seamless deployment without sacrificing delivery precision. Charging is embedded directly into daily operations, with primary depot charging at Scan Sverige's Linköping facility and supplemental opportunity charging at Einride's charging stations along the route. Vehicles recharge during mandated driver rest periods, minimizing downtime while maximizing asset utilization.

"The addition of Scan Sverige strengthens Einride's growing portfolio of enterprise customers and highlights the rising demand for scalable, fossil-free freight solutions, especially in regulated, high-volume supply chains such as food and grocery logistics," said Roozbeh Charli, Chief Executive Officer at Einride. "Einride is uniquely positioned as a category leader in intelligent electric and autonomous freight, helping global shippers transition their logistics while delivering immediate business value."

As part of the partnership, Einride is deploying electric heavy-duty trucks on one of Scan Sverige's most critical refrigerated transport routes: the approximately 160 kilometer corridor between Linköping and Eskilstuna. The trucks, which are capable of handling a 64-tonne gross combined weight (GCW), will operate on a route that accounts for approximately 25 percent of Scan Sverige's refrigerated outbound volume from its Linköping distribution center. By replacing conventional diesel trucks on this route, Scan Sverige is expected to reduce emissions by approximately 860 tonnes of CO₂e annually, supporting Scan Sverige's ambitious climate objectives.

"At Scan Sverige, transitioning our transportation is an important part of our long-term efforts to achieve our climate targets. Electrifying the route between Linköping and Eskilstuna enables us to continue reducing emissions and contribute to the development of fossil-free transport, " said Elina Matsdotter, Chief Sustainability Officer at Scan Sverige. "Einride's digital platform and charging infrastructure optimizes the transports for maximum efficiency and lower energy consumption, making Einride strategically important to our transition."

Einride has demonstrated strong commercial momentum, with more than 30 enterprise customers across seven countries, approximately $92 million in expected annual recurring revenue (ARR) from signed customer contracts, and more than $800 million in potential long-term ARR through joint business plans with blue-chip customers.
