# PACCAR brand DAF to add Level 4 Einride autonomy to its electric trucks

Autonomous logistics firm Einride is partnering with heavy truck brand DAF to accelerate the deployment of autonomous electric freight assets across the company’s premium truck platforms.

Driver shortages and increasingly volatile fuel costs are making it impossible for the logistics industry as a whole to ignore the promise of more predictable electric vehicle charging costs and an electronic driver who’s always ready to go. It’s against this industry backdrop that Einride and DAF have announced plans to integrate Einride’s Level 4 autonomous driving system, Einride Driver, into DAF’s “X” brand of premium heavy truck offerings.

“This collaboration is a testament to DAF’s commitment to innovation and future-proofing the logistics sector,” said Jeroen van den Oetelaar, DAF Trucks’ Chief Engineer and member of the board. “By combining our premium truck platform with leading autonomous technology, we are actively shaping a more efficient, safer, and sustainable freight ecosystem.”

DAF offers a number of fully electric heavy trucks, ranging from a 12-tonne XB Electric (call it a Class 7 in the US) for urban distribution on up to the XG and XG+ Electric for longer haul applications.
