In this configuration, the second-generation fuel cell system delivers more than 300 miles of range at a full load weight of 80,000 lbs., Reducing airborne pollution at the Ports of L.A. and LongBeach is an important driver of this program. This is an important step in the transition to emissions-free heavy-duty trucks.
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 demo was conducted near the ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach as part of a project with Siemens and sponsored by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Earlier post.).
LongBeach Transit (LBT) recently received a $600,000 grant from the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) of the South Coast Air Quality Management District Near Zero Incentive Program for the purchase of 40 Cummins “near-zero” compressed natural gas (CNG) engines. Earlier post.)
Siemens and the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) are conducting a one-mile, zero-emission eHighway demonstration in Carson, Calif., near the ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach. Earlier post.). —Andreas Thon, Siemens head of Turnkey Projects & Electrification, North America.
The new truck, known internally as “Beta,” expands on the capabilities of Toyota’s first Project Portal test vehicle by increasing the estimated range to more than 300 miles per fill. More than 16,000 pollution-emitting trucks are working in Ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles, a number that is estimated to balloon to 32,000 by 2030.
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has fined two shipping companies for failing to switch from bunker fuel to cleaner, low-sulfur fuel when sailing within 24 miles of the California coast, as required by a state law adopted in 2008. They must also follow all fuel switchover requirements, and maintain accurate records.
less efficient and more polluting. or 33 kg of compressed hydrogen storage, resulting in an operating range of 200 or 400 miles, respectively, per 8-hour shift. Initial units will be used to complete testing and demonstration of the Tyrano the vehicles in and around the Port of Los Angeles and Port of LongBeach.
The LongBeach, CA-based truck/trailer emits 85% less overall particulate matter and 10% less carbon dioxide than its diesel counterparts. Toyota Transport’s southern California Vehicle Delivery Operations in LongBeach and Mira Loma have 32 trucks in service, and the group delivers approximately 200,000 vehicles annually.
.” He always was so ahead of the curve… Like I say, I live in Torrance, home of the exploding Exxon Mobil refinery where our Air Quality Management District just gave the refinery operators exemptions to exceed pollution limits while they restart the aging climate wrecker back up. .
The multi-phase project, Research Hub for Electric Technologies in Truck Applications (RHETTA) ( GFO-20-306 ), will commence with a community-first engagement framework to ensure that pollution-impacted communities, low-income communities, and tribal communities are involved in creating and guiding the initiative.
The proposed rulemaking follows on a proposal last March by the United States and Canada to designate thousands of miles of the two countries’ coasts as an Emission Control Area (ECA). Air pollution from large ships, such as oil tankers and cargo ships, is expected to grow rapidly in line with port traffic increases. Earlier post.)
At WasteExpo 2017, Peterbilt displayed a Model 520 refuse truck equipped with the Transpower ElecTruck drive system, which has accumulated over 80,000 miles of Class 8 heavy duty use in a variety of commercial applications since 2013. Two 520 refuse haulers will be tested by Sacramento County and a waste hauler will operate one truck.
Key Steps to Cleaning Southern California’s Air Diesel Class 8 trucks run seemingly tail-to-nose from the Ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles to the Inland Empire in Southern California. Last mile trucks like Amazon’s are moving to EVs Almost all of those trucks run on diesel, but change is coming.
Since 1993 my wife and I have lived in Torrance California, just a half mile from the beautiful beach and the Pacific Ocean. What we’re not breathing is clean air, because the smoke from the La Canada-Flintridge fire, about 38 miles from here, is still making air quality hazardous and people in the L.A.
The project will replace 180 diesel drayage trucks at the Ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach with LNG trucks. This initiative demonstrates and promote of the feasibility of alternative fuel sources, education and public outreach, and reduction of pollution/emissions. Total DOE award: $5,924,190.
Electrifying heavy-duty trucks is essential if we’re to fight climate change and air pollution, but the pace of the transition has been painfully slow—many, many pilots, but few truly large-scale orders. It boasts a range of up to 500 miles, and can charge at 750 kWh—nearly three times the rate of other electric trucks.
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.
It’s going to change the world of our Los Angeles and LongBeach ports. Right now the dock workers and the people who live near the ports are choking on the worst air pollution anywhere in the area. That’s EE Solar’s RAV4 and it has gone over 116,000 miles oil free. A school teacher owns this car.
Hummer cars are known to have previously achieved as little as 12mpg, but thanks to Raser Technologies; who are currently exhibiting the new Hummer at the Plug-In Conference 2009, until Wednesday, 12 August at the LongBeach Convention Center, LongBeach, California; the reputation of the Hummer could be on the mend.
In this plan, Volkswagen and ARB prioritized ZEV infrastructure build-out in areas with high anticipated ZEV demand and around disadvantaged communities throughout California, noting the potential for significant decreases in air pollution as a result of this ZEV build-out. The supplement adds a sixth: Fresno.
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 ).
And there’s 40% of the Class 8 market and the medium-duty market that [drives] under 250 miles a day. You can get 250 miles a day even with a full load nowadays, so that technology is there for right now. In most cases they’re running from the port, 50 or 100 miles to a warehouse and then running back to the port, back and forth.
Q&A with electric truck expert Rustam Kocher Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles make up a small fraction of the vehicles on the road, but they generate a disproportionate amount of pollution. million miles. They’ve also got a site at the Port of LongBeach and a couple others in the LA area.
The additional funding will cover demonstration projects of battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric and range-extended hybrid electric/natural gas heavy-duty drayage trucks operating at the ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles. DC fast-charging systems typically provide 60 to 80 miles of range in just 20 minutes of charging.
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.
