Swedish company Einride has recently unveiled the first full-scale prototype of its futuristic autonomous electric truck ‘T-pod’. The electric, self-driving vehicle can be remotely controlled by drivers and can carry 15 pallets of goods 124 miles while producing zero emissions. In contrast to other autonomous driving technology, the model offers a number of capabilities which have not been presented before.
瑞典公司Einride最新推出了其未來感十足的自動(dòng)駕駛電動(dòng)卡車“T-pod”的第一輛全尺寸原型車。這輛電動(dòng)卡車可由駕駛員遠(yuǎn)程操控，可裝載15個(gè)托盤的貨物行駛124英里（約200公里），并且實(shí)現(xiàn)零排放。與其他自動(dòng)駕駛技術(shù)不同，T-pod模式呈現(xiàn)了許多以前沒有的功能。

Each pod stands at a height of 23 feet (7 meters) in length and is able to travel 124 miles on a single charge. At present Einride is developing compatible charging stations to power the vehicles. The model removes unnecessary features such as windows and seating, and in its place presents a simple box form.
電動(dòng)卡車全長23英尺（約7米），充滿一次電可以行駛124英里。目前，Einride公司正在開發(fā)配套的充電站。該模式去掉了一些不必要的功能，比如它沒有車窗和駕駛座，外形就是一個(gè)盒子。

The launch marks a global transition from heavy, noisy trucks with monstrous emissions and bad working conditions to emission-free, noise reduced trucks that allow workers to operate on a standard schedule closer to home. The Einride system doesn’t only benefit the environment but also improves road safety, creates new jobs and provides more cost-efficient transports for purchasers. A ‘T-pod’ is the height of efficiency; personnel don’t have to stand by as it charges or spend an excess of time away from family and friends, and overall client logistics will be more flexible.
這一發(fā)布標(biāo)志著全球運(yùn)輸行業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)型，從噪音大、污染嚴(yán)重的重型卡車和駕駛員惡劣的工作條件升級(jí)到零排放、噪音減少的電動(dòng)卡車以及讓駕駛員能在正常上班時(shí)間內(nèi)工作并離家人更近。Einride系統(tǒng)不僅有利于環(huán)境，還可以改善道路安全、創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)崗位，并為采購商提供更具成本效益的運(yùn)輸?！癟-pod”效率很高，員工不需要在卡車充電時(shí)待命，不必長時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)離家人和朋友，整體客戶物流也將更靈活。
