The Port of Long Beach announced a step toward zero-emissions trucking by 2035 and zero-emissions cargo-handling equipment by 2030.
"Today, we celebrate the first publicly accessible, heavy duty electric charging station in our nation," said Sharon l. Weissman, President of the Long Beach Harbor Commission.
Trucks are the largest single source of air pollution from vehicles, 70% of the smog-causing pollution, and 80% of carcinogenic diesel soot even though they represent just under 7% of registered vehicles in the state, according to the California Air Resources Board. "In addition to on-road trucks, it helped to fund equipment in the terminals," said Tomley. "Yard tractors and forklifts and other equipment, but instead of using diesel-fueled engines, they use battery electric technology."
