- The Schwarz Group is testing Einride trucks in Edermünde near Kassel to supply a Lidl store.
- The route from the distribution center to the store is 400 meters, with a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour.
- The operation is not yet fully autonomous: an Einride employee loads and unloads goods manually and can intervene remotely.
- Schwarz cites German TÜV and Federal Motor Transport Authority requirements as a hurdle and wants to build scalable transport systems across Europe on that basis.
Autonomous systems are, for us, a promising building block in logistics to make supply chains even more resilient and actively address the acute shortage of skilled workers— Serhan Yildirim of Schwarz Logistic Solutions, during the presentation of the pilot project
