Autonomous trucking is moving from pilot talk to real freight ops. Einride CEO Roozbeh Charli breaks down 27% revenue growth, a 60% jump in driverless hours, the Amazon middle-mile rollout, and the plan for 500 Tesla Semis on its platform.The conversation gets into what matters for carriers and fleet operators: where autonomous trucks actually stand today, how Einride's platform handles routing and charging, and why the company says adoption will be gradual—not overnight.#AutonomousTrucking #ElectricTrucks #FreightTech
Einride posted a 27% increase in revenue for the first half of 2025 following its June 10 IPO, and the company expects that growth rate to roughly double in the second half of the year, CEO Roozbeh Charli said in an interview with FreightWaves. The results represent early progress toward converting approximately $800 million in joint business plans with customers into recognized revenue.
Alongside the revenue gains, Einride grew its autonomous driverless operating hours by about 60% in the first half. The company currently has roughly 250 trucks deployed on its Saga AI platform across more than 30 customers in seven countries, including Amazon, Heineken, and PepsiCo.
The most significant near-term expansion is a 500-truck order for Tesla Semi vehicles, which Einride will purchase, finance through third-party partners, and deploy on its platform as the carrier of record. Charli said approximately 75 of those trucks are expected to be deployed before year-end, with the remainder targeted for deployment by the end of next year. The program is U.S.-focused.
"By accumulating this transport demand on the platform, we're well positioned to decide where and when, in which case it makes sense to deploy autonomous into the networks of our customers," Charli said.
