The Port of Long Beach (POLB) announced that it is launching the nation’s largest zero-emissions pilot project due to a $9.7 million grant it received from the California Energy Commission (CEC).
The project will bring 25 zero-emission vehicles to the port marine terminals for one year to test their performance. Some of the equipments include electric powered trucks provided by US Hybrid, the conversion of nine diesel-electric rubber-tire gantry cranes into fully electric equipment, the purchase of 12 battery-electric yard tractors and plug-in hybrid-electric trucks for a drayage trucking firm.
