Einride is expanding its partnership with Finnish food company Paulig to electrify a 415-kilometer roundtrip long-haul route on Sweden’s west coast, connecting Paulig’s Landskrona production facility to its distribution point in Kungsbacka. The Stockholm-based freight technology company announced the expansion on May 19, with operations projected to eliminate 430 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The route will move goods for Paulig’s Santa Maria brand, a major hub supplying Nordic and Baltic markets. Operations are supported by Einride’s Smartcharging infrastructure along the corridor and managed by Saga, the company’s AI-powered freight optimization software.
Highlights
- 415-kilometer roundtrip electric long-haul route between Landskrona and Kungsbacka, Sweden
- 430 tonnes of CO2 emissions projected to be eliminated annually from the expanded operations
- Part of Paulig’s broader target to cut value-chain greenhouse gas emissions by 42% from a 2018 baseline and reach net zero by 2045
- Built on Einride’s “green corridors” network of zero-emission freight routes integrating physical and digital infrastructure
A Test Case for Long-Haul Electrification
The Landskrona-to-Kungsbacka corridor is one of the longer point-to-point electric long-haul routes Einride has publicly disclosed for a single shipper, and it sits squarely in the operating range where heavy-duty electric freight has historically been hardest to justify. Einride’s Smartcharging stations along the route are part of what the company describes as its green corridors network — zero-emission routes that combine physical charging infrastructure with the digital layer needed to coordinate fleet operations at scale.
Real-time fleet performance, energy consumption, and routing are managed through Saga, Einride’s AI-powered operating system. The company’s Freight-Capacity-as-a-Service model is positioned to let customers like Paulig meet transport demand with fewer vehicles, lower energy consumption, and reduced overall costs.
“Electrifying long-haul freight used to be a hard problem. This partnership is yet another proof that it isn’t anymore,” said Roozbeh Charli, Chief Executive of Einride. “When a food company can electrify its supply chain without compromising on cost or performance, the case for the rest of the industry becomes impossible to ignore.”
Climate Strategy on Both Sides
For Paulig, the expansion is positioned as part of a broader value-chain decarbonization push. The company has committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 42% from a 2018 baseline and reaching net zero by 2045.
“With the volumes we produce, transport is a significant part of our climate impact. Electrifying long-haul transport is a concrete step in reducing emissions across our value chain,” said Thomas Panteli, SVP, Supply Chain and Sourcing at Paulig.
Commercial Momentum and Public Listing
The Paulig expansion lands amid continued enterprise growth for Einride. The company operates one of the world’s largest electric heavy-duty fleets, serving more than 30 enterprise customers across seven countries in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. Einride reports approximately $92 million in expected annual recurring revenue from signed contracts and over $800 million in potential long-term ARR through joint business plans with major customers.
Einride continues to progress toward closing its proposed business combination with Legato Merger Corp. III (NYSE American: LEGT), which would result in Einride becoming a U.S. listed public company in the first half of 2026.
