Einride plans to put 500 Tesla Semi trucks into freight service across five states over the next 24 months, an order the company says would triple its deployed electric fleet and rank as the largest Tesla Semi deployment of its kind globally.
The rollout begins in September 2026 and extends Einride’s electric freight network through California, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, and Georgia. The trucks will serve Amazon and other customers in North America and will operate on Saga, Einride’s AI freight planning platform.
Einride reported roughly 250 vehicles deployed in its first-half 2026 results, released the same day as the Tesla announcement. Adding the 500 Semis would bring the deployed fleet to about 750 trucks, and the company said it is targeting 1,500 to 2,000 trucks in operation by 2028.
The Saga software coordinates individual electric trucks into networks, scheduling around variables like charging time and energy costs rather than dispatching each truck as a standalone asset. The platform has managed more than 19 million electric miles and 42,000 optimization sessions across seven years of operations.
Currently, the company has about $800 million in potential long-term annual recurring revenue under joint business plans with shippers, framing the Tesla order as the capacity needed to convert that pipeline into contracted, revenue-generating freight.
The order builds on work already underway with Amazon. According to the report, Einride has secured a deployment of 75 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks in Amazon’s middle-mile network across five U.S. locations following an initial trial.
For scale, the nearest publicly announced comparison is WattEV’s May order for 370 Tesla Semis for Northern and Central California freight corridors.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in September 2026 and run in phases through 2028.
