Executives from the Port of Long Beach and two companies signed an agreement on Monday, May 11, to commit to establishing the port’s first Green Truck Corridor.
The goal is to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions supply chain.
Executives from Lincoln Transportation Services and Wonderful Real Estate Development were on hand for the official signing of the memorandum of understanding. The corridor is designed to promote zero-emissions goods movement on the trucking corridor between Long Beach and the Central Valley.
It is expected to accelerate the port’s zero-emissions goals and create a new model for sustainable logistics.
The ceremony took place at the port’s Maintenance Facility and those in attendance included port CEO Noel Hacegaba; Jose Cardenas, CEO of Lincoln Transportation Services; and Joe Vargas, president of Wonderful Real Estate Development. On site were a Tesla Semi and Voltz electric truck, the two models Lincoln plans to use along the corridor.
Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson and harbor commission President Frank Colonna also attended.
The Port of Long Beach, along with neighboring Los Angeles, has spent year investing in ways to become more environmentally friendly.
Last year, for example, was the port’s 20th anniversary of its Green Port Policy. During his state of the port address earlier this year, Hacegaba pledged a continued push — in partnership with the Port of L.A. — toward an environmentally clean future.
During that port address, Hacegaba listed project after project that will increase the port’s capacity, but will also be environmentally clean — in a push to make the Port of Long Beach the world’s first zero-emissions port by 2050.
