The Class 8 BYD 8TT delivered its zero-emission cargo from Port of Oakland to Tracy, CA. Upon its return to Port of Oakland, the truck’s battery still had about 40% State of Charge (SOC)—plenty of reserve for additional operation throughout the remainder of the workday. It then picked up a return load back to the Port.

In this pilot project, enough compressed natural gas will be generated to displace 750 to 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel, and to power heavy-duty garbage collection trucks and an on-site generator producing renewable electricity for the facility. This fuel has 88% lower carbon intensity than ultra-low-sulfur diesel.

Fueling with highly compressed hydrogen (700 bar) is a little more complicated than uncompressed diesel or high-powered DC chargers. FCEVs are still more efficient than diesel vehicles when run on hydrogen made from methane, but not as efficient as battery EVs charged from methane-generated electricity.

Each electric truck that replaces a diesel model can save an estimated 75 tons of CO2 a year. Because CNG has 21 percent fewer emissions than diesel, San Diego’s nearly 200 CNG buses will reduce greenhouse gases by an estimated 3,800 metric tons of CO 2 a year, compared to similar diesel-powered vehicles.
