Einride Autonomous Trucks to Begin Training on Nvidia's Alpamayo
The company will adapt the model for its own vehicles, routes, and data, with road tests planned for the second half of 2027.
Einride has announced the testing of Alpamayo within its Einride Driver autonomous driving system. The project advances collaboration with Nvidia to develop the next version of the system on the Hyperion platform, and adapting the model is expected to reduce development timelines and costs when adding new vehicles and routes. The financial terms were not disclosed by the parties.
Einride, DAF, and TNO will define and validate the integration of the autonomous system into DAF’s electric freight platform by 2026. Software integration and the commissioning of the complex are planned for 2027. The model will also be further trained on Einride’s operational data: in shadow mode, it will operate without controlling the truck, comparing its decisions with the system’s planner and driver actions.
Alpamayo is a family of Nvidia models for road situation recognition and trajectory planning using reasoning. Einride aims to become the first transportation company to deploy Alpamayo on Hyperion, though PlusAI announced its adaptation for heavy-duty trucks on the same platform back in March.
