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近期发售了其未来感觉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纵，可装载15个架上的货物行经124英里（大约200公里），并且构建零排放。与其他自动驾驶技术有所不同，T-pod模式呈现出了许多以前没的功能。

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（大约7米），充满著一次电可以行经124英里。目前，Einride公司正在研发设施的充电站。

该模式去除了一些不必要的功能，比如它没车窗和驾驶座，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.这一公布标志着全球运输行业的转型，从噪音大、污染相当严重的重型卡车和驾驶员险恶的工作条件升级到零排放、噪音增加的电动卡车以及让驾驶员能在长时间上班时间内工作并离家人更加将近。Einride系统不仅不利于环境，还可以提高道路安全性、建构新的低收入岗位，并为采购商获取极具成本效益的运输。

“T-pod”效率很高，员工不必须在卡车电池时待命，不用长时间靠近家人和朋友，整体客户物流也将更加灵活性。
