Einride reported first-half revenue of SEK 273 million ($27 million), up 26% year over year on a constant-currency basis. The Swedish company said the results were its first earnings release since its June 10 Nasdaq listing, and management said growth is expected to accelerate to between 60% and 73% in the second half as it moves from a private startup profile to a public-company cadence with more detailed reporting.

The outlook comes alongside two new partnerships. Six days before the earnings release, Einride announced a joint initiative with DAF Trucks to integrate its autonomous driving system into DAF’s electric truck platform. The company also disclosed plans to deploy 500 Tesla Semi trucks on its Saga AI platform, financed through third-party structures. Einride said that deal alone would raise its fleet from roughly 250 vehicles to about 750, underscoring how much of its expansion still depends on converting announced demand into vehicles on the road.

Fleet path and third-party financing

Einride is targeting cash-flow breakeven in 2028 with between 1,500 and 2,000 trucks in operation. The company said roughly $800 million in potential long-term annual recurring revenue is embedded in joint business plans with customers.

“We are scaling with capital discipline. By financing fleet growth through asset-backed structures, we’re able to convert signed demand into operating revenue faster while minimizing dilution for our shareholders and executing towards our target to reach cash flow breakeven point in 2028,” said Anubhav Verma, chief financial officer.

Net loss widened to SEK 1.12 billion from SEK 887 million a year earlier. Einride said most of the increase came from non-cash charges, including a SEK 636 million recapitalization expense tied to the business combination and a SEK 245 million share-based compensation charge related to the listing. Cash stood at SEK 748 million ($77 million) as of June 30.

The listing and business combination with Legato Merger Corp. III included an oversubscribed $113 million PIPE financing intended to expand Saga AI coverage and accelerate deployments. The company said the transaction valued Einride at a pre-money equity value of about $1.35 billion, according to its business combination announcement.

Amazon ramp and autonomy progress

Amazon remains Einride’s anchor customer. In April, the company disclosed a deployment of 75 manual electric heavy-duty trucks across five U.S. locations in Amazon’s middle-mile network following an initial trial. Management cited the Amazon ramp first when explaining its second-half guidance, indicating that near-term growth is tied to execution on already disclosed deployments rather than a broader change in strategy.

Autonomy remains at a smaller scale. Driverless hours in contracted customer operations rose 64% to more than 5,400 as of June 30 across six autonomous deployments in the U.S. and Europe. Total electric distance planned through Saga AI reached 18.5 million miles.

DAF integration timeline

The DAF work begins with interface development. Einride, DAF and Dutch applied research institute TNO will define and test the integration of Einride’s autonomous drive system into DAF’s electric truck platform through 2026. Software integration and commissioning are scheduled for 2027, with subsequent testing to be carried out on DAF trucks. Type approval remains the requirement for any Level 4 expansion onto public roads.

The XD and XF Electric models on that platform were jointly voted International Truck of the Year 2026.

“By leveraging DAF’s decades of manufacturing excellence and market strength, we can expedite the global scale-up of Einride’s autonomous technology,” said Henrik Green, chief technology officer. “This collaboration validates our vehicle-agnostic approach to autonomy.”

Roozbeh Charli, chief executive officer, pointed to progress on recurring revenue and continued investment in Saga AI, charging infrastructure and autonomous technology as the company begins life as a public company.
