The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have announced that they <\/p>\n

will invest $25 million to a collaboration with regional air quality <\/p>\n

authorities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Los<\/p>\n

According to the ports, this collaboration aims to provide charging <\/p>\n

infrastructure for electric heavy-duty drayage trucks in one of the country\u2019s <\/p>\n

most populous areas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee\u2019s $135 million <\/p>\n

projects will build up to 207 charging stations at eight sites in Southern <\/p>\n

California, including Wilmington, Rancho Dominguez, Rialto, Fontana, Commerce, <\/p>\n

and the Port of Long Beach. The South Coast Air Quality Management District <\/p>\n

oversees project contracts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Port of Los Angeles Executive Director, Gene Seroka, said: \u201cWe\u2019re investing <\/p>\n

with our Clean Truck Fund to get both zero-emission (ZE) trucks and <\/p>\n

infrastructure on the street as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to funding charging stations, we\u2019re partnering with the state <\/p>\n

of California to offer vouchers of up to $250,000 toward the purchase of a ZE <\/p>\n

heavy-duty truck. Every day, we\u2019re making progress toward our goal of a zero <\/p>\n

emission port.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This week, the Los Angeles Harbour Commission and the Long Beach Harbour <\/p>\n

Commission each authorised a $12.5 million allocation from their respective <\/p>\n

Clean Truck Funds for the idea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Clean Truck Fund Rate supports the ports\u2019 goal of transitioning to a <\/p>\n

zero-emission truck fleet by 2035, as outlined in the Clean Air Action Plan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rate collection commenced in April 2022, at $10 per TEU and $20 per <\/p>\n

forty-foot equivalent unit. Loaded containers transported by zero-emissions <\/p>\n

trucks are exempt from the charge, as are low-nitrogen oxide trucks in <\/p>\n

restricted instances.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through March 2024, the Port of Los Angeles reportedly collected about $78 <\/p>\n

million, while the Port of Long Beach collected almost $75 million.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, the Port of Long Beach announced it will receive $283 million <\/p>\n

from the federal government to assist in building \u2018America\u2019s Green Gateway\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
