The Einride order will comprise DAF XD electric trucks in a wide range of specifications, which the company will deploy with various customers.
The vehicles will be equipped with three to five battery packs for ranges of up to 500kms (310 miles).
All vehicles will be delivered with DAF repair and maintenance packages. Maintenance will be carried out throughout the DAF dealer network, with more than 1,100 locations across Europe.
Einride operates in the US, the UK, Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Benelux region.
