Long Beach harbor commissioners on 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 deployment is key as the ports press ahead on reaching a 2035 goal of an entirely zero-emission truck fleet.
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.
