Under the project, the port plans to deploy the nation’s “largest fleet of manually operated, zero-emissions cargo handling equipment at a single marine terminal.” Specifically, a total of 60 electric, human-operated yard tractors will replace diesel yard tractors at Long Beach Container Terminal.
The project also includes construction of electric equipment charging stations with energy efficiency-enhancing software, training for operators and maintenance personnel, and installation of software equipment to streamline cargo-handling operations within the terminal.
