The Port of Long Beach, The Wonderful Company and Lincoln Transportation <\/p>\n

Services have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop what is <\/p>\n

described as the world\u2019s first port-powered Green Truck Corridor linking Long <\/p>\n

Beach with California\u2019s Central Valley.<\/p>\n

\"Port<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to reduce emissions and improve air quality along one <\/p>\n

of the busiest freight trucking routes in the US, connecting the San Pedro Bay <\/p>\n

port complex with inland agricultural and logistics hubs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed by Dr Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long <\/p>\n

Beach, Jose Cardenas, CEO of Lincoln Transportation Services, and Joe Vargas, <\/p>\n

President of Wonderful Real Estate Development.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The corridor will connect the Port of Long Beach, which handles more than <\/p>\n

$300 billion in cargo annually, with California\u2019s Central Valley agricultural <\/p>\n

sector, valued at approximately $40 billion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayor Rex Richardson said: \u201cBy launching the world\u2019s first port-powered <\/p>\n

Green Truck Corridor, the Port of Long Beach continues to demonstrate that we <\/p>\n

can advance our economy and reduce our emissions at the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis represents yet another example of how Long Beach is leading the way <\/p>\n

by fostering innovation in partnership with private industry in our city and <\/p>\n

across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The signing followed unanimous approval of the MoU by the Long Beach Board <\/p>\n

of Harbor Commissioners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The framework outlines plans for closer integration between port <\/p>\n

operations, inland logistics infrastructure and zero-emission trucking <\/p>\n

deployment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More than 300,000 TEUs currently move between the San Pedro Bay ports <\/p>\n

complex and the southern Central Valley each year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A central component of the project is the Wonderful Logistics Center (WLC) <\/p>\n

in Shafter, California. The 2,000-acre logistics hub is located along the BNSF <\/p>\n

Railway main line and serves as a key inland distribution point connecting ports <\/p>\n

with businesses across the western US.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frank Colonna, President of the Long Beach Harbor Commission, stated: \u201cI <\/p>\n

want to thank Lincoln Transportation Services and The Wonderful Company for <\/p>\n

their participation in the Port\u2019s first corridor dedicated to green trucks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur industry partners have always been key to our success in improving the <\/p>\n

environment \u2013 and this is another great example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lincoln Transportation Services will act as the corridor\u2019s lead truck <\/p>\n

operator. The company has ordered 300 Tesla Semi electric trucks and expects to <\/p>\n

receive its first 50 to 70 vehicles in June.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Its affiliated company, Voltz, is also manufacturing 100 electric trucks <\/p>\n

scheduled for delivery by Q3 2027.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long Beach, said: \u201cBy collaborating <\/p>\n

with The Wonderful Company and Lincoln Transportation Services to launch this <\/p>\n

first-of-its-kind Green Truck Corridor, we are accelerating the deployment of <\/p>\n

clean trucks on one of the nation\u2019s busiest inland trade routes.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project forms part of the Port of Long Beach\u2019s wider strategy to become <\/p>\n

a zero-emissions seaport. The corridor will include rapid charging <\/p>\n

infrastructure at both the Port of Long Beach and Shafter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The port currently operates 102 EV truck charging stations, with a further <\/p>\n

92 expected to become operational later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
