operations to save 14,600 tonnes of CO2e annually, supporting the
region's overall climate goals.

DUBAI, UAE, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Einride, a freight mobility company that provides
digital, electric and autonomous technology, announced today its
partnership with DP World, a renowned global leader in supply chain
solutions headquartered in Dubai. The collaboration will electrify
inter-terminal container flows at Jebel Ali Port, improving
efficiency and sustainability at the 10th busiest port
in the world. This will be the largest deployment of electric,
autonomous freight mobility in the Middle
East, operating 24/7 to reshape the landscape of transport
in the region.
Starting at the end of 2024, the partnership will quickly scale
up to support approximately 1,600 container movements daily. The
expansion will be made possible through a fleet of 100 connected
electric trucks, managed through Einride Saga, Einride's digital
operating system designed to analyze, optimize and maximize the
efficiency of electric and autonomous road freight operations. An
autonomous pilot is slated for deployment in 2025.
Once at full operational capacity, the initiative will save up
to 14,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually and
158 tonnes of nitrogen oxides (NOx) annually.
"Einride and DP World are driving a paradigm shift in the
landscape of freight mobility in the Middle East. Our collaboration underscores a
shared dedication to sustainability and innovation, merging
Einride's expertise in electrification and autonomous technology
with DP World's global logistics leadership," said Robert Falck, CEO and Founder of Einride.
"By reshaping container transportation in Jebel Ali Port, we aim to
set a new standard for sustainable transport practices,
significantly curbing CO2 emissions. This collaboration showcases
the effectiveness of combining visionary ideals with decisive
action, paving the way for a more resilient future."
"DP World is committed to making trade smarter, faster and more
sustainable, and our new partnership with Einride aligns perfectly
with our vision," said Abdulla Bin
Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC. "We
have already made significant progress in electrifying and
automating our terminals at Jebel Ali Port, and by leveraging
Einride's cutting-edge technology, we can take that to the next
level. Our partnership will drive greater operational efficiencies,
further decarbonize terminal operations, and pioneer greener
practices for the logistics sector."
This collaboration is integral to Einride's broader initiative
with the UAE Government, fast-tracking the region towards
sustainable shipping. Einride's ecosystem, comprising electric and
autonomous vehicles, charging infrastructure, and transformative
technology, will be deployed at scale throughout the Falcon Rise
grid, marking a significant stride towards a more sustainable and
efficient future in shipping.
Jebel Ali Port was recently ranked as the
10th busiest container port in the world by
Alphaliner, a leading source of data, analysis, and insights on the
global liner shipping industry, based on total container throughput
in 2023.
