Both the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have set a 2035 deadline to switch the port-serving truck fleet to zero-emissions.
Long Beach harbor commissioners on Monday, April 25, approved an agreement — hailed as groundbreaking — that will deploy 100 battery-electric trucks to the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The new drayage vehicles will come from the California Joint Electric Truck Scaling Initiative — or JETSI — project, which is the product of a nearly $27 million grant approved last week for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. “This will be a groundbreaking event in Southern California,” Noel Hacegaba, the Port of Long Beach’s deputy executive director, told the harbor commission on Monday. “This illustrates what we can do together in partnerships like these.”
