    Shipping company A.P. Moller – Maersk will add 300 electric trucks to its network in North America for its warehousing, distribution and transportation business, Performance Team.

    The trucks will be delivered between 2023 and 2025 and will use Einride’s digital road freight operating system and charging solutions.

    Vincent Clerc, the CEO of Ocean & Logistics, A.P. Moller – Maersk, said “Our customers are looking for tangible actions on sustainable supply chains - not just conceptual. Today’s order is an important step in building our end-to-end, landside decarbonisation foundation while also addressing customers inland transportation pain points. Maersk has a comprehensive decarbonisation plan in motion for our Ocean activities which represent 93% of all company-related emissions. This order marks the expansion of our ambitions to cover all services across transport modes.”

    “This is one of the biggest deals ever made to make transportation sustainable, and it comes at a critical time,” Einride CEO Robert Falck added. “Not only is the road freight industry responsible for close to 8% of all global CO2 emissions – a number that will continue to grow if cost-effective change is not made today – but you also have a world that is more aware than ever before about the urgent need to shift to electric. I admire Maersk for its boldness in leading the way – for standing out in its commitments as a shipper to tangibly make the transition happen.”
