MTS operates 95 bus routes and three light rail lines across 10 cities and unincorporated areas of San Diego County. New Flyer’s Xcelsior CHARGE NG battery-electric buses provide up to 525 kWh of power and 250 miles of range on a single charge. This order is also supported by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds.
Volvo Trucks North America customer 4 Gen Logistics, a fourth generation, family-owned drayage company, has ordered 41 Volvo VNR Electric trucks to haul freight between the Port of LongBeach and Southern California’s Inland Empire—a national logistics and warehousing hub.
The companies introduced a Class 6 prototype at the ACT Expo in LongBeach. This truck will provide a range of more than 400 miles and refueling times comparable to conventional trucks.
NFI started its electromobility journey with Volvo Trucks as part of the Volvo LIGHTS (Low Impact Green Heavy Transport Solutions) project that began in 2019. Our experience with the Volvo LIGHTS project was a major factor in NFI’s decision to purchase VNR Electric trucks for our drayage operations. Earlier post.). Earlier post.)
As part of the company’s commitment to drive supply chain sustainability, NFI has taken a leadership role in the electrification of freight movement and has participated in several BET demonstration projects since 2018, including the Volvo LIGHTS, Daimler Truck’s Innovation Fleet, and Switch-On projects. million), with an additional $21.7
an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of battery-electric vehicles, will present a working concept truck of the W-15 electric pickup work truck with range extender for fleet usage at the ACT EXPO Conference May 1-4, 2017 in LongBeach, CA. The W-15 will have an expected 80-mile range from its Panasonic cell Li-ion battery pack.
Powered using Panasonic 18650 Li-ion batteries, the truck’s battery pack is expected to deliver all-electric 80 mile range, covering the majority of miles driven in a day by fleets. The Workhorse W-15 light duty platform design is an extension of the E-Gen electric technology used in Workhorse medium-duty delivery trucks.
The truck’s battery pack is expected to deliver 80-mile all-electric range and to achieve 75 MPGe while in all-electric operation. The 80 mile range is designed to cover the majority of the miles driven in a day by fleets. Electric power will be supplied using Panasonic 18650 Li-on batteries.
Enova brought its Ze (zero emissions) commercialized all-electric step-van to the Plug-in 2009 conference in LongBeach. Engineered specifically for urban delivery routes and service/maintenance operations, the Enova Ze plug-in step van drive system offers a range of up to 150 miles per charge and can reach a top speed of 65 mph.
The agenda included: Bob Foster, Mayor of LongBeach; Jeremy Snyder, General Manager of Tesla Motors; Steve Westly, Former State Controller, Bobby Shriver from the Santa Monica City Council, John Chiang, the California State Controller; Bill Locker, the California State Treasurer and the once and future Governor of California, Jerry Brown.
At Penske’s Ontario, California location , a GM BrightDrop, a Navistar eMV and a Freightliner eCascadia, a light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck, will be followed. At PepsiCo’s Sacramento, California depot , two Tesla Semis will be tracked in heavy-load long-haul transport operations.
million to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) under the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program to build and to test seven hybrid fuel-cell, Class 8 trucks to transport cargo at the LongBeach and Los Angeles ports. The California Energy Commission approved a grant of $2.4
The Workhorse W-15 light duty platform design is an extension of the E-Gen electric technology used in Workhorse medium-duty delivery trucks. If needed, the gasoline generator (from BMW) will then operate after battery power has been depleted, providing a full hybrid range of 310 miles per tank. Earlier post.) Earlier post.).
Known as Mighty Servant 1 (MS1), it appears that OCISLY will be carried from the Bahamas through the Panama Canal – and possibly all the way to Port of LongBeach, California – on the back of the transport ship. Typically, tugboats tend to tow SpaceX’s drone ships no faster than 9 mph (13 kph).
Toyota’s Project Portal is designing a heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell system for class 8 truck use at the Ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach. and its estimated driving range is more than 200 miles per fill, under normal drayage operation. Earlier post.) The concept’s gross combined weight capacity is 80,000 lbs.,
SpaceX’s longest-lived and most prolific drone ship has departed Port Canaveral just a few days after preparations appeared to begin for a several-thousand-mile journey from Florida to California. And the droneship is departing Port Canaveral on its way to California! Mighty Servant 1 is a massive submersible heavy-lift ship.
These projects put more than 9,000 alternative fuel and energy-efficient light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles on the road, and establish 542 refueling locations across the country. Team partners will purchase a total of 191 commercially available light- to heavy-duty alternative-fuel and advanced-technology vehicles.
The far higher volumes of carbon dioxide per mile from heavy trucks make them an obvious target for zero-emission powertrains. Some makers suggest hydrogen fuel cells will be the way to go; the most promising application seems to be long-haul trucking with few or no stops. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world.
Toyota (in partnership with Peterbilt and others), Hyundai and Nikola are the early leaders in hydrogen being a fuel source for over-the-road trucks, highlighted by what they are doing at the Port of LongBeach and elsewhere in California. See Clean Fleet Reviews at the end of the story.
That push is particularly focused on the trucking routes between the Ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach and the distribution centers of the Inland Empire – which Ontario lies at the heart of. This is too long a trip for most BEV trucks (except one, at least – we’ve seen the Tesla Semi do similar mileage ).
We first met Owlet at Electrify Expo in LongBeach, CA, where we only had a couple minutes on its bike. This actually puts its 84lb weight into a different perspective – rather than being heavy for a bike, it can be thought of as light for a moped. The bike’s owl-like headlights fit well with the brand name.
Arc has built the first models of its much-anticipated Arc Sport 500hp electric wake boat, and we got a chance to take it for a quick demo in LongBeach, CA and holy heck, this thing rips. Arc said it took the boat out to Catalina Island, which is 26 miles across the sea from the California coastline.
Unlike individual car owners, fleet operators know exactly how many miles their vehicles travel, and they aren’t likely to be swayed by questions of styling or coolness factors—if you can demonstrate that an EV will save them money, then you should be able to make a sale. It’s easier to sell to the light-duty market. million miles.
And they’re also clued-in enough to know that a 244 mile driving range on a 3-4 hour charge is fantastic, but you need a hot blonde too if you want people to stop, listen and remember whatever fantastic thing you’re telling them. Bob Foster, Mayor, City of LongBeach (c) 2009 Joe Galliani.
