Maersk to operate 300 electric heavy-duty rigs to move goods

A.P Moller-Maersk, the Danish shipping container giant, has signed a five-year deal with Einride that includes the use of 300 electric heavy-duty trucks. The trucks will be launched in Chicago, Newark, NJ, Los Angeles and Savannah, GA. “If this is a success, there is no reason why we don’t have the same operation across all port cities in the U.S.,” said Narin Phol, regional managing director at Maersk North America.
