Battery-electric, natural gas, and hydrogen fuel cell trucks from the Port of Long Beach helped celebrate the new Port of Long Beach bridge in a clean trucks parade.
A procession of clean, zero-emissions and near-zero-emissions drayage trucks were a highlight of ceremonies marking the opening of a new bridge at the Port of Long Beach.
Near-zero-emission natural gas trucks have been deemed feasible for drayage operations by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. A May 2020 addendum to their Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks upgraded currently available trucks to the highest technology readiness level.
In Southern California, Toyota and Kenworth unveiled a jointly developed fuel cell electric heavy-duty truck, the result of a collaboration with the California Air Resources Board and the Port of Los Angeles.
Kenworth's latest green initiative, the Zero Emissions Cargo Transport (ZECT), is a hydrogen fuel cell powered battery-electric vehicle, capable at this point of about 100 miles of travel fully loaded. Equipment Editor Jim Park got to take the truck for a spin.
The mayors of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, are aiming for zero emissions at the ports or Los Angeles and Long Beach by 2035 as part of their commitment to adopting the Paris Climate Agreement goals in their cities.
