April 21 (Reuters) - Swedish trucking company Einride said on Tuesday it had partnered with ‌Amazon.com to deploy 75 manually operated ‌electric heavy-duty trucks and supporting charging infrastructure across five U.S. ​locations for the e-commerce giant's freight network.

Here are the details:

• Einride said its proprietary optimization software, Saga AI, will be used to manage ‌electric vehicle execution ⁠for select Amazon loads, including charging planning.

• The financial terms of the ⁠partnership were not disclosed.

• The U.S. electric trucking market has struggled to match early expectations, following ​setbacks at ​companies such as ​Nikola and a slower-than-anticipated ‌rollout of Amazon's electric delivery vans developed with Rivian.

• Amazon has been increasingly leaning on operators such as Einride, which provide vehicles, charging infrastructure and fleet-management software, allowing the company to ‌advance electrification efforts without ​directly owning and operating all ​assets.

• In ​February, Einride said it had raised ‌around $113 million of private investment ​in public ​equity.

• Einride is pursuing a public listing in the first half of this year ​through its ‌planned merger with blank-check firm Legato Merger ​Corp III.
