Hands-free charging specialist Rocsys has collaborated with freight technology company Einride to demonstrate fully autonomous logistics. The collaboration saw Rocsys’s hands-free charging technology used with Einride’s autonomous electric vehicle, showcasing the seamless integration of end-to-end automated operations.
The demonstration was part of the MODI project, co-financed by the European Union, and took place at AstaZero, a fully owned subsidiary of RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, the world’s first full-scale independent test environment for automated transportation systems. The AstaZero Proving Ground provided an ideal setting for this test, exclusively focusing on autonomous vehicle technology.
Rocsys enables vehicles to autonomously recharge without manual intervention, unlocking true end-to-end automation in logistics. The company supports open standards, ensuring compatibility with multi-brand vehicle fleets across diverse sectors, enabling 24/7 hands-free charging of vehicles. The hands-free charging solution also reduces reliance on manual processes, enhances worker safety by minimizing human exposure and paves the way for fully autonomous vehicle operations. Combined with the Rocsys Portal, a monitoring and control platform, it offers seamless oversight and full control over the charging process, according to the company.
“The future of mobility is autonomous, which can only be achieved thanks to projects like this one,” said Crijn Bouman, CEO and co-founder of Rocsys. “We are excited to have collaborated with Einride to showcase end-to-end hands-free solutions within the logistics industry, proving how automation can transform the industry.”
“We are convinced that autonomous technology can transform logistics at scale,” added Pia Wijk, project manager at Einride. “Therefore, we are collaborating with the best-in-class suppliers and operators to explore how we can make logistics safer, more efficient and sustainable than ever before, powering the development of technological innovation.”
