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最新推出了其未来感十足的自动驾驶电动卡车“T-pod”的第一辆全尺寸原型车。这辆电动卡车可由驾驶员远程操控，可装载15个托盘的货物行驶124英里（约200公里），并且实现零排放。与其他自动驾驶技术不同，T-pod模式呈现了许多以前没有的功能。

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.

电动卡车全长23英尺（约7米），充满一次电可以行驶124英里。目前，Einride公司正在开发配套的充电站。该模式去掉了一些不必要的功能，比如它没有车窗和驾驶座，外形就是一个盒子。

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.

这一发布标志着全球运输行业的转型，从噪音大、污染严重的重型卡车和驾驶员恶劣的工作条件升级到零排放、噪音减少的电动卡车以及让驾驶员能在正常上班时间内工作并离家人更近。Einride系统不仅有利于环境，还可以改善道路安全、创造新的就业岗位，并为采购商提供更具成本效益的运输。“T-pod”效率很高，员工不需要在卡车充电时待命，不必长时间远离家人和朋友，整体客户物流也将更灵活。
