will deliver one big-rig truck and one terminal tractor for testing for 18 months to the ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles, with an anticipated start in early 2011. Both vehicles are electric trucks, with batteries recharged by hydrogen fuel cells. Under an agreement struck earlier this year ( earlier post ) Vision Motor Corp.
A Foss Maritime Company’ Green Assist hybrid tug ( earlier post ) has joined the Foss fleet for the ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles, California. To help defray the added costs of development and construction of the first hybrid tug, both the Ports of LongBeach and Los Angeles contributed funding. Click to enlarge.
Additionally, the company will direct $25 million of the $200 million investment for an initiative in the City of LongBeach and the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles (LongBeach-Wilmington), for a “Green City” program. Green City Investment: - $25 Million in LongBeach-Wilmington. San Diego-Carlsbad.
For example, at 350kW, capable EVs can recharge up to about 20 miles of driving range per minute of charging. Electrify America plans to roll out additional megawatt-level energy storage systems in the future, including in LongBeach-Wilmington, California as part of the company’s second Green Cities initiative.
The batteries can be recharged to around 80% within 60 minutes, sufficient for a range of around 300 km (184 miles). The US Environmental Protection Agency and the ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach also contributed to the grant. The batteries of the new electric version provide 325 KWh for up to 480 hp.
Three battery-electric top handlers and two zero-emission yard trucks (fuel cell and battery-electric) at the Port of LongBeach (Cost $8.3 million; Grantee: City of LongBeach Harbor Department). million; Cap-and-Trade grant: $6.5 million; Grantee: Center for Transportation and the Environment). million; Grant: $5.3
The Kenworth T680 day cab’s fuel cell produces electricity to power the dual-rotor electric motor to move the truck, or it can recharge the lithium-ion batteries for use later. TTSI) at the ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach in Southern California. The T680 has been running trials in the Seattle area and performing very well.
Los Angeles-LongBeach-Anaheim. Highways & Regional Routes: The new Cycle 2 investments will continue to build out a highway network of DCFC stations featuring charging power up to 350 kilowatts which can recharge a vehicle at up to 20 miles of range per minute. Santa Cruz-Watsonville. Santa Rosa. San Diego-Carlsbad.
At the Advanced Automotive Batteries Conference in LongBeach, California earlier this year, HPL presented the current status of its work with nanostructured lithium manganese phosphate (LiMnPO 4 , LMPO) materials and cells for automotive applications. in South Korea.
Kenworth is developing a prototype Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell tractor, using the Ballard Power Systems fuel cell to recharge the battery pack. The hydrogen fuel cell series hybrid T680 day cab tractor uses lithium-ion batteries to power a dual-rotor electric motor, driving the rear tandem axle through a 4-speed automated transmission.
PICC’s existing conversion kit allows Prius owners to recharge their vehicles in six hours using a regular 120-volt outlet, or in as little as two hours with an optional high-capacity charger. PICC will begin California Air Resources Board emissions-control certification testing later this month.
Audi introduced the battery-electric Audi A3 e-tron US pilot program at TED2012 in LongBeach, California. The Audi A3 e-tron can be recharged in about nine hours with a 230-volt household socket. A3 e-tron BEV. Click to enlarge. This marks Audi’s first foray into the rapidly developing US electric vehicle landscape.
Aymeric Rousseau, program manager at Argonne, presented a small slice of this wide study at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference 2009 (AABC) this week in LongBeach. To maximize charge depletion, the engine only provides the requested wheel power without recharging the battery. Optimum engine power strategy.
The program includes the installation of 10 alternative fuel refueling sites (two B20, one Electric Recharging, and seven CNG). The project includes 45 E85 and B20 stations, eight propane stations, and 132 electric vehicle recharging sites. Total DOE award: $15,000,000. Total DOE award: $12,975,388.
Merc has already been dabbling in this arena with the eSprinter (which is different from the V-Class), installing a 113-kWh battery in a pre-production example and driving the thing from Vegas to LongBeach without stopping to recharge on the 275-mile journey. Specifics on the VAN.EA
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. The trucks typically run two port pickups per day, per truck, for an average of 220 miles driven before being recharged.
Several such plates are now in place at the Port of LongBeach and Port of Los Angeles, aimed at mitigating emissions. This initiative acknowledges the transportation industry’s historical status as the largest contributor ( 27% ) to greenhouse gases in both the US and Europe. “Our Here’s hoping it can solve that problem at -10°, too.
Einride also intends to implement additional charging stations at strategic on-road locations in North America that are easily accessible to fleets of electric trucks while also providing a relaxing lounge area for drivers to recharge while their vehicles do the same. freight system.
A 150 kW charger may recharge a battery pack to 80 percent in about 2.5 One major tradeoff is what level of DC fast charging is required to allow trucks to fulfill their duty cycles. hours, while a 250 kW unit can cut that to 1.5 hours—at the cost of longer installations, more infrastructure work, and higher charging station costs.
With some halfway decent sensors to detect obstacles on the track, reliable motors and batteries that last long enough (current range is 800km with a sub-hour recharge time), and the software infrastructure required to sort it all out, I don’t see any major obstacles to building these things and putting them on some tracks.
builds its rechargeable transit and charter buses. But that’s exactly the case being made by SpinLaunch, a startup based in LongBeach, Calif., Enjoy the latest images, and if you have suggestions, leave a comment below. EV Bus Nursery. Pictured is the factory where electric-vehicle maker BYD, based in Santa Dominguez, Calif.,
Gelson’s is calling the concept “ReCharge by Gelson’s,” and it’s the first store of this type the company has opened. Rove is planning to expand elsewhere in Southern California next, with sites planned in Costa Mesa, Torrance, Corona and LongBeach, which should be opening roughly in that order.
The primary customers right now are the ports—Port of LongBeach, Port of Los Angeles—and the ports around the country are usually in urban environments. They could do three, four runs a day without a problem, without having to recharge. Every one of the major OEMs is launching an electric truck series. Garbage trucks.
So far this year, I attended the Electrify Expo in LongBeach where I shot and recorded the entire panel of experts on 3 cameras; including Jo Borras, Electrify News, Loren McDonald, Electric Vehicle and EV Charging Expert, Joost De Vries CEO, DeLorean Motor Company, Chris Anthony CEO, Aptera, Tannaz Banisadre, COO, Shell ReCharge, Raven Hernandez, (..)
If we’re going to hit the numbers we need to hit for fleet adoption, we need as many places for those vehicles to recharge as possible.
