The demonstration at SSA Marine Pier J is part of the Zero-Emissions Terminal Equipment Transition Project, which is funded in large part by a $9.7 million California Energy Commission grant.
As part of the project, SSA retrofitted nine of its existing diesel-powered rubber-tired gantry cranes to run on electricity, recently completing the last one.
The port, the CEC and Southern California Edison partnered on the project to put into daily service 25 vehicles that are zero- or near-zero emissions at three of the port’s marine terminals.
