Some proposed changes[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be added or removed: The T-pod and T-log has been renamed to the "Einride Pod" (formerly T-pod) and "Einride timber Pod" (formerly T-log). There are multiple references to the T-pod and T-log throughout the article that should be replaced, including the captions for the photos.
Explanation of issue: Einride no longer refers to their products with these names.
References supporting change: The Einride Pods section of https://einride.tech

Hi, the template above links to instructions how to propose a change, including this desription: 6. Describe the requested changes in detail. This includes the exact proposed wording of the new material, the exact proposed location for it, and an explicit description of any wording to be removed, including removal for any substitution. Include the sources (per above) that support the edits that you are suggesting; if you do not, your request will be denied. Be specific: "add X", "delete Y", "replace X with Y". If the rationale for a change is not obvious (particularly for proposed deletions), explain. Basically, post specific sentences as "replace X with Y". I think in the History section, T-pod will stay (it is quite comlicated to "update" sentences such as "In the Spring of 2017, the company introduced a new type of transport vehicle, the T-pod."). Best start would be with the pods description in the Vehicle models section. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:58, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request implemented

The phrasings of the company's product have been changed, except in instances where the product was being mentioned in the context of having used to be called by the (then) original name.
Additionally, promotional claims and those involving the future have been omitted from the article.

Some proposed changes and updates[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be updated in the Description section to replace current sentence:

Edit request

"Einride is a technology transport company based in Stockholm, Sweden, specializing in capacity as a service with electric and autonomous vehicles, charging infrastructure and a digital interface."

Reason for the change:

The company description is inaccurate. It's a technology transport company or a freight mobility company with mobility services, which vehicles are a part of.

References supporting change:

https://www.freightwaves.com/news/einride-to-build-ev-truck-charging-facility-near-port-of-la https://siliconcanals.com/news/startups/travel-mobility/einride-raises-91-4m/

Information to be updated in the History section to replace the sentence "The company manufactures electric and self-driving vehicles":

"The company manufactures autonomous electric heavy-duty vehicles and sells capacity- and software as a service, which includes charging stations and connectivity services with an operating system, Einride Saga. It currently operates one of Europe’s largest fleets of electric trucks. Einride works with OEMs to offer electric fleets that are connected by its proprietary software."

Reason for the change:

Update to remove inaccurate information and to reflect the actual services provided. Einride doesn't manufacture electric vehicles, only the autonomous truck. It works with different OEMs to provide electric trucks along with freight mobility services (one-stop solution).

Information to be added in the History section after the last paragraph before 2020s:

"An additional financing round was completed in December 2022. Einride raised $500 million in both a Series C equity raise and a debt facility. The debt financing was signed by Barclays Europe, and the equity included funding from investors like Northzone, EQT Ventures, Temasek, Swedish pension fund AMF, Polar Structure and Norrsken VC."

Reason for the change:

Update to reflect the latest financing round

Information to be added in the History section after the last paragraph after 2020s block:

"The pilot was conducted in October 2022 in partnership with GE Appliances in Selmer, Tennessee, and marked the first time an autonomous and electric truck without a driver on board ran an operational pilot on US public road."

Reason for the change:

Update on the previously mentioned approval and the pilot's completion.

References supporting change:

Information to be added at the end of History section:

"Between September and December 2022, Einride added operations in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Norway, which will include a cross-border autonomous demonstration in partnership with the MODI project.

In December 2022, customers included Beyond Meat, Oatly, AB InBev, Maersk, GE Appliances and Electrolux.

In April 2023, Einride announced the expansion of commercial operations to the UK, with PepsiCo’s Walkers brand as its first customer."

Reason for the change:

Update to reflect the latest news, media coverage and expansions.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The requested text's references are not formatted according to the citation style predominantly in use with the subject article (WP:CITEVAR). Any additions made to the article should have references formatted according to the style already in use with the article. Please see the Reply section below for more information about this issue.

Unable to implement

Your edit request could not be implemented because the provided references are not formatted correctly.^[a] The citation style predominantly used by the Einride article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.^[b] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:

Citation style

Bare URL reference formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Einride article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>
Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2020, p. 1.

^ Harinath, Prisha. (2020). "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.

^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2020, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly resubmit the edit request below at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 02:27, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

^ The fault for this formatting error may have originated with the automated prompts used by the edit request template, which asks for a COI editor to "supply the URL of any references used". While the resulting omission of information would not be the fault of the requesting COI editor, it nevertheless remains their responsibility to supply the references formatted in the style used by the article.
^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.^[1]
