The company's target market includes logistics companies and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), with whom they partner to provide sustainable trucking solutions. The platform is designed to be flexible and adaptable, capable of evolving from remote to autonomous driving for any vehicle type and use case. This turn-key solution offers logistics customers the flexibility of an "as-a-Service" model, making it easy to integrate into their operations.
FERNRIDE generates revenue by charging for its TaaS. This includes the provision of autonomous, electric trucks, the teleoperation vehicle kit, and the integration service. The company's focus on safety, zero-emissions, and future-proof technology positions it as a leader in the sustainable logistics sector.
