Port of Long Beach officials and green trucking company Bali Express Services celebrated a new “Green Truck Corridor” between Los Angeles and Mexico at the company’s site with lunch and speeches on Thursday, June 25.
It’s the second green corridor established under the port’s push to transition to clean-emissions operations.
Bali Express Services’ new facility in Long Beach uses 32 compressed natural gas and six electric trucks to hall cargo from the Port of Long Beach to Bali’s facility in San Diego County and across the Mexican border. The Green Trucking Corridor connecting Long Beach, San Diego and Tijuana will be operated by Bali, which plans to add 20 CNG and 20 electric vehicles this year, with a goal of converting its fleet of more than 350 trucks to zero-emissions by 2040.
Taking part in Thursday’s ceremony were Long Beach harbor Commissioner Sharon L. Weissman, Port of Long Beach CEO Noel Hacegaba and Juan Baez, director of Bali Express Services.
In May, the port signed a memorandum of understanding supporting the development of the world’s first port-powered Green Truck Corridor, which will connect Long Beach with the Central Valley, with the goal to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gases on one of the nation’s busiest truck routes for global trade.
The Central Valley agreement is with The Wonderful Company and Lincoln Transportation Services and is now operating.
“By collaborating with The Wonderful Company and Lincoln Transportation Services to launch this first-of-its-kind Green Truck Corridor,” Hacegaba said in a written statement for that earlier signing, “we are accelerating the deployment of clean trucks on one of the nation’s busiest inland trade routes.
“This innovative partnership,” he added, “builds on our work to decarbonize the trans-Pacific through our pioneering green shipping corridors by making the inland supply chain more efficient and sustainable. We are creating a cleaner supply chain as we keep the American economy moving.”
That earlier signing ceremony for the Central Valley corridor took place shortly after the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize the MOU in May.
That MOU outlines a framework for collaboration and future development, reflecting plans for a shared, early-stage effort to advance a more coordinated model for goods movement, connecting port operations, inland logistics capacity and emerging zero-emissions trucking opportunities in a planned system designed to improve efficiency over time.
Currently, more than 300,000 twenty-foot equivalent units of imports and exports flow between the San Pedro Bay ports complex — which includes both the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach — and the southern Central Valley each year.
Hacegaba announced plans to establish the port’s first Green Truck Corridor at his inaugural State of the Port Address in January. The corridor is part of the port’s broader efforts to become the world’s first zero-emissions seaport and will include the most advanced rapid charge facilities for EV trucks at the corridor’s endpoints in the Port of Long Beach and Shafter, in Kern County. The port currently has 102 charging stations on site – the most of any port in the U.S., with 92 more coming on line later this year.
