Driverless, cab-less electric trucks to transport cargo between Ohio warehouses this summer

An Ohio-based logistics company will partner with autonomous truck technology company Einride to deploy autonomous, cab-less electric trucks to deliver cargo between warehouse locations starting this summer.

On May 18, 2026, EASE Logistics announced it will deploy Einride’s autonomous trucks to deliver freight between EASE Logistics warehouses in Marysville, Ohio during the summer of 2026.

The companies will operate two of Einride’s highly automated trucks on both on EASE property and local public roads as part of the proof-of-concept service, “generating data on impacts to warehousing, distribution, and transportation operations.”

The Einride trucks will operate autonomously without a human driver, though “a remote operator monitors the trucks off-site and can intervene if needed, keeping operations running smoothly and safely.”

The Einride truck deployment is being conducted as part of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s DriveOhio’s Truck Automation Corridor Project.

The companies say that the project will allow for the evaluation of the impact of autonomous technology on operations, safety, and freight efficiency. 

“EASE is proud to continue advancing the Truck Automation Corridor Project alongside DriveOhio and innovative partners like Einride,” said EASE President & CEO Peter Coratola, Jr. “Deployments like this help move autonomous trucking from controlled pilots into daily freight operations, where safety, reliability, and efficiency can be evaluated at scale. By working with leading autonomous technology providers, including Einride, in real-world environments, we’re helping accelerate the infrastructure and operational readiness required for the next generation of freight transportation.”

“Deploying our autonomous trucks in daily logistics operations with EASE reflects years of rigorous development and real-world validation. Safety is not a feature we add to our technology, it is the foundation everything is built on,” said Roozbeh Charli, Chief Executive Officer of Einride. “Our partnership with EASE and the Truck Automation Corridor Project is proof that autonomous electric freight isn’t a future ambition, it’s a safe, working reality today.”
