Rocsys and Einride have teamed up to demonstrate a hands-free charging solution for autonomous electric freight vehicles. This innovative showcase, held at AstaZero Proving Ground in Sweden, highlights the potential for fully automated, sustainable transport systems. As part of the European Union co-financed MODI project, the collaboration signals a transformative shift in how goods could move across the globe—safer, greener, and without human intervention.
Key Highlights
- Hands-free charging successfully powers autonomous electric trucks
- Collaboration between Rocsys and Einride at AstaZero Proving Ground
- Part of the MODI project, supported by the European Union
- Enables end-to-end automation, eliminating manual charging tasks
- Features soft robotics, computer vision, and data-driven technology
- Compatible with multi-brand fleets and supports open standards
- Proves readiness for large-scale sustainable freight operations
The event took place at AstaZero, a cutting-edge facility designed specifically for testing automated transport systems. Here, Rocsys’ advanced charging technology seamlessly integrated with Einride’s autonomous electric vehicles, allowing the trucks to recharge independently. This eliminates downtime caused by manual plug-ins, setting the stage for round-the-clock logistics operations.
Rocsys brings a high-tech edge to the partnership with its use of soft robotics, computer vision, and data-driven services. The system’s flexibility shines through its support for open standards, making it adaptable to various vehicle brands across industries. Meanwhile, the Rocsys Portal offers real-time monitoring and control, ensuring smooth oversight of the charging process.
This milestone proves that autonomous charging isn’t just a concept—it’s ready for the real world. Crijn Bouman, Rocsys’ CEO, noted, “The future of mobility is autonomous, and projects like this make it possible.” Einride’s Pia Wijk added, “We’re working with top partners to make logistics safer and more efficient.” Together, they’re driving the industry toward a future where sustainable freight transport scales up effortlessly.
