PostHeaderIcon Electric Vehicle Alert: South Carolina Goes Electric

In 2007, the Port of Los Angeles and South Coast Air Quality Management District. (SCAQMD) partnered to fund the prototype of the world’s most powerful short-range heavyduty electric truck from Santa Ana-based Balqon Corporation. The agencies split the $527,000 investment to demonstrate a heavy-duty truck capable of hauling a fully loade d 40-foot cargo container.

The heavy-duty, all-electric truck now being tested at the Port of Los Angeles is a zeroemissions workhorse that could be a precursor to future short-range port and cargo terminal drayage operations worldwide. To advance this vision, the Port will place the first significant production order of these trucks with Balqon Corporation, to take delivery of 20 electric container terminal tractors, or “hostlers,” and five on-road electric drayage trucks over the next 12 months.

The Baqon electric truck initiative augments the ongoing green technology efforts under the Technology

Advancement Program, a component of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) approved by the ports of L.A. and Long Beach in November 2006. The ports are committing $15 million over five years to fund the TAP. The mission of the TAP is to accelerate the verification or commercial availability of new, clean technologies through evaluation and demonstration to move towards an emissions-free port.
