The Case for Placing Drayage Truck Chargers Away from Ports
Installing drayage truck chargers further away from ports can benefit fleets’ bottom line and operations, avoid grid bottlenecks, and reduce port congestion.
Over 1.8 million trucks are on the road in California each day. Most of these still run on diesel fuel, bringing harmful air pollution and carbon emissions into neighboring communities. Starting this year, under California’s Advanced Clean Fleets Rule, fleets must buy only zero-emissions drayage trucks, and all drayage trucks must be zero-emissions vehicles by 2035. Overall, this regulation will lead to 70 percent of heavy-duty trucks on California roadways being zero emissions by 2042. Providing sufficient charging infrastructure in the right locations is essential to enabling this transition.
Join RMI for a webinar on Providing Truck Charging Solutions in Southern California. On the webinar, you’ll hear the latest research from experts at RMI alongside real-world examples of deployment from the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), Zeem, and BGIS.
This event is hosted by RMI, the Mission Possible Partnership, and the North American Council for Freight Efficiency.
RMI and the Mission Possible Partnership’s Clean Industrial Hub in Los Angeles, California, accelerates industrial and heavy transportation decarbonization in the region. Clean industrial hubs bring together policymakers, financial institutions, project developers, and community-based organizations to enable groundbreaking decarbonization projects in the hardest-to-abate sectors. In Los Angeles, RMI and MPP’s analyses, convenings, and tools support stakeholders working to advance zero-emissions trucking, low-carbon cement plants, sustainable aviation fuel, and decarbonized ports by increasing the size, scale, and speed of critical climate investments that benefit the environment, the economy, and communities. This work is done in partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund.
