Einride, EASE Logistics, DriveOhio, and INDOT Announce Deployment of Autonomous Electric Trucks This partnership brings cutting-edge SAE L4 autonomous driving technology to daily logistics operations as part of the Truck Automation Corridor Project, advancing safety, efficiency, and the future of autonomous freight. MARYSVILLE, Ohio and STOCKHOLM, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Einride and EASE Logistics today announced the deployment of SAE Level 4 (L4) Einride autonomous trucks into proof-of-concept service between EASE Logistics warehouses in Marysville, Ohio. This deployment is an extension of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and DriveOhio's Truck Automation Corridor Project, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), and is designed to evaluate the impact of autonomous technology on operations, safety, and freight efficiency. Operations will take place on EASE property and local public roads and will utilize two of Einride's advanced L4 autonomous electric trucks, already successfully operating in real-world daily operations across the United States. Starting this summer, the trucks will transport goods between EASE warehouses, generating data on impacts to warehousing, distribution, and transportation operations. The vehicles are self-driving cab-less electric trucks that operate without a driver. They are capable of navigating routes autonomously, handling everything from routine driving to unexpected situations. A remote operator monitors the trucks off-site and can intervene if needed, keeping operations running smoothly and safely. This marks EASE Logistics' third autonomous trucking deployment in partnership with DriveOhio, reinforcing its role as one of the few logistics providers in the country actively testing multiple autonomous freight platforms in live operational environments. "EASE is proud to continue advancing the Truck Automation Corridor Project alongside DriveOhio and innovative partners like Einride," said EASE President & CEO Peter Coratola, Jr. "Deployments like this help move autonomous trucking from controlled pilots into daily freight operations, where safety, reliability, and efficiency can
