Kenworth has been awarded three government grants totaling $8.6 million that will support low emissions projects involving Kenworth T680 Day Cabs targeted for use as drayage tractors in Southern California ports. —Mike Dozier, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president. The first two projects are funded at $1.9
The Zero and Near Zero-Emission Freight Facilities project—proposed with support from Toyota, Kenworth, and Shell—provides a large-scale “shore-to-store” plan and a hydrogen fuel-cell-electric technology framework for freight facilities to structure operations for future goods movement.
unveiled PowerDrive, a suite of plug-in hybrid electric powertrain solutions spanning light-, medium- and heavy-duty applications, at the 2018 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show. In a series hybrid, the electric motor is the only means of providing power to the wheels. in the Kenworth T370, a US Class 6 truck. Cummins Inc.
FedEx Freight has begun beta testing two new Kenworth T660 tractors powered by Cummins Westport ISX12 G liquefied natural gas (LNG)-only engines. Other efforts include: Experimenting with emission-free hydrogen fuel cell-powered and electric forklifts for dock operations. Earlier post.)
AJR Trucking , a leading carrier for the United States Postal Service (USPS) and a major drayage carrier operating in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has executed a purchase order for 50 Nikola Tre hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) trucks from Tom’s Truck Centers, a member of the Nikola Corporation sales and service dealer network.
Once the baseline truck and engine was determined (Volvo D13 (2010 emissions), Kenworth T600, 10-speed manual transmission), two simulation models were used to allow the evaluation of various packages: GT-POWER for engine cycle simulation and RAPTOR to model the vehicle, including the transmission and driveline.
This enables drivers to waste less fuel looking for delivery destinations, gas stations and other locales, while reducing emissions and carbon footprints, decreasing costs and creating enhanced personnel comfort and organizational efficiencies. Reduced Emissions and Fuel Costs Plus Driver Productivity and Comfort.
UPS plans to build an additional 12 compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations and add 380 new CNG tractors to its growing alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet. CNG is made by compressing natural gas to less than one percent of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. San Antonio, Texas; Tifton, Ga.;
The fluid compresses nitrogen gas in the accumulator and pressurizes the system. During braking, the vehicle’s kinetic energy drives the hydraulic pump/motor as a pump, transferring hydraulic fluid from the low-pressure reservoir to a high-pressure accumulator. Launch Assist.
The projects range from electric locomotives, trucks and refrigeration trailers at railyards in Stockton and San Bernardino, to a hybrid tugboat and electric cranes and forklifts at the Port of Long Beach. million to deploy four fuel cell hybrid electric delivery vans for UPS for a minimum 12-month demonstration project in Chino.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) says the maiden voyage of their Class 8 heavy-duty electric semi marks the first time an electric semi has crossed the border hauling a standard load, marking an important milestone as the two nations move toward a net zero future. The Peterbilt 579EV trucks have an 82,000 lb.
More and more, especially the smaller “last mile” trucks, are powered by electricity. FedEx, Amazon and others are making the switch to electric power, as are school buses and garbage trucks. Post Office will be converting a sizeable portion of its fleet of electric vans. Even the U.S.
Maryland-based nonprofit Climate United announced its intention to spend $250 million to buy up to 500 electric semi trucks over three years in what the group is calling “ the biggest single order of zero emission Class 8 trucks in the country.” The purchasing program is funded by a $6.97 FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
The First Plug-in Battery Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Goes on Sale This week Honda announced pricing for the CR-V e:FCEV, which is scheduled to go on sale in California (only) next month. In a first-ever technology pairing, Honda has mated plug-in battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric in the all-new 2025 CR-V e:FCEV.
Nikola, producer of fuel cell and battery electric semi trucks, held a grand opening for the first of its HYLA refueling stations. But it only took a few months for Nikola to set this up, which is key given the rapid rollout of electric trucks in California, especially for drayage (moving goods from port to distribution centers).
The Port of Los Angeles and its partners rolled out five new hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and introduced two hydrogen fueling stations. The Port’s technology development partners are Toyota Motor North America, which designed and built the powertrain’s fuel cell electric power supply system; Kenworth Truck Co.,

Yet, despite the endless calls for decarbonization, hydrogen-powered electric trucks are hardly visible on American roads. The aim is to make low-cost hydrogen commercially viable and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of hard-to-decarbonize sectors, including heavy transport. As more truck manufacturers set their sights on the U.S.,
Hydrogen could displace some fossil-fuel use, but its production can generate carbon emissions as well, including in the form of “grid emissions” from electricity used to power that production, the lawmakers noted in their letter. Kenworth-Toyota hydrogen fuel-cell semi prototype.
The Trump Administration is looking for new markets for exported liquefied natural gas (LNG) , a push that could further prime the hydrogen economy the Biden Administration began laying out. Kenworth-Toyota hydrogen fuel-cell semi prototype. – May 2024 Under Trump, it’s expected that any U.S.
