Einride and DAF begin Level 4 electric-truck integration programme
Einride will integrate its autonomous-driving stack with DAF electric trucks through a staged engineering and approval programme supported by TNO.
Evidence notes
- Interface definition and validation begins in 2026, followed by software integration and commissioning on a DAF vehicle in 2027.
- TNO will support vehicle-interface testing and type-approval work as the partners prepare the combined platform for commercial use.
- The programme targets SAE Level 4 freight operation, extending an existing relationship that previously covered DAF electric trucks in Einride's fleet.
