Not only can we switch between monitored vehicles, but also between operators in different geographical locations, increasing the flexibility of our system exponentially.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"article-img\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><img class=\"wrapImageCMS aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fleetimages.bobitstudios.com\/upload\/trucking-info\/content\/news\/2020-04\/einride-autonomousoperator-april2020-__-720x516-s.jpg\" alt=\"Einride foresees a future where up to 10 Pods in a transport network can be monitored simultaneously in autonomous mode. - Photo: Einride video still\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"caption-description\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Einride foresees a future where up to 10 Pods in a transport network can be monitored simultaneously in autonomous mode.

This has the potential to increase the average workday for a single vehicle from 8 to 24 hours, an increase in productivity of up to 300%.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cAdditionally, many tedious or time-consuming tasks will be a thing of the past for operators, as he or she will not have to wait for loading and unloading, refueling or recharging to oversee and operate other vehicles,\u201d notes the release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Expanding the driver-to-vehicle ratio from one-to-one to one-to-many also has the potential to exponentially improve fleet efficiency in terms of cost, time, and sustainability. Currently, with Einride\u2019s Freight Mobility Platform, shippers are able to track their entire fleets in real-time and optimize routes and schedules for cost and emissions reduction. The platform also provides recommendations on where to introduce low- or zero-emissions transport options into the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-img\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><img class=\"wrapImageCMS aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fleetimages.bobitstudios.com\/upload\/trucking-info\/content\/news\/2020-04\/einride-remotedrive-web-__-720x516-s.jpg\" alt=\"The Einride system prompts the operator when the autonomous Pod runs into a situation that needs remote operation. - Photo: Einride video still\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"caption-description\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Einride system prompts the operator when the autonomous Pod runs into a situation that needs remote operation.

Recently, the company launched the Einride Mobility Platform, a cloud-native transport execution system for autonomous, electric and traditional road transportation. With the platform, customers can use real-time information and actionable insights to implement sustainable, cost-efficient and high performing transport logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-16-gray\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">by <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truckinginfo.com\/authors\/324937\/staff\">HDT Staff<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckinginfo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.truckinginfo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>FLEET MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3995px) 100vw, 3995px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg 3995w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-1024x226.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"3995\" height=\"882\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Join to our NEWSLETTER; you\u2019ll get the latest news, articles, publications, training, conferences, events, congresses, and white papers related to Fleet Management, Mobility and Automotive IN your email fortnightly.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Einride Showcases Single-Operator Control of Multiple Autonomous Vehicles Einride, which says its autonomous, electric Pods have the potential to transform shipping networks, for the first time publicly demonstrated how remote operators can monitor and control multiple autonomous, electric Pods from a single remote drive station.
