Autonomous Trucks
Fernride, a German autonomous, electric trucking company, has secured $31 million in Series A funding to accelerate the transition towards automated and sustainable logistics by creating the world’s leading human-machine collaboration technology. Fernride’s unique approach has already convinced leading industry players such as Volkswagen, DB Schenker, BSH, and HHLA. The major challenges in the logistics industry today are the extreme truck driver shortage, growing CO2 emissions, and tight profit margins. The company’s ambition is to become the global leader in autonomous trucking within the next five years. Kramer says: “As we are deeply transforming how the logistics industry is operating, it is crucial to partner with some of the industry’s leading players.
