THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Tomas Ohlson, senior developer at Einride, describes how the Swedish startup uses cloud computing to modernize the freight industry.
Freight transportation is headed for disruption driven by data technologies, including cloud computing. Swedish startup Einride created a high-tech alternative to traditional trucking that aims to improve road safety and lessen environmental impact.
Road freight transport is responsible for up to 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions and that’s growing, according to Tomas Ohlson, senior developer at Einride.
“Carbon dioxide emissions are threatening the future of mankind,” he said. “Today, there’s a lack of cost-competitive sustainable alternatives to trucking.”
