About
FERNRIDE is on the mission of solving two major challenges: a drivers shortage and the huge negative impact of transportation on the environment. With over 10 years of research and high-profile partners, such as Volkswagen, DB Schenker and B/S/H, we are delivering the future of automated logistics today.
Our unique approach is gradual autonomy with teleoperation first, allowing our drivers – known as teleoperators – to fully control electric vehicles without actually sitting in them.
Fernride was spun out in 2019 by Hendrik Kramer, Dr. Maximilian Fisser and Jean-Michael Georg after ten years of research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and quickly attracted venture capital (>€10M 2021), customers and talents - becoming a European technology champion.
