The Port of Long Beach has officially recognized Bali Express Services\u2019 proactive efforts to establish a Green Truck Corridor between Long Beach and Mexico.<\/p>\n
Port executives joined Mexican consulate officials in commemorating Bali\u2019s commitment to using clean trucks to move cargo along a route spanning roughly 125 miles between the southern California gateway and Mexico, the United States\u2019 largest trading partner.<\/p>\n
U.S.-Mexico trade reached an annual record of $873 billion in 2025, nearly 90% of that on land and most via truck.
\u201cThis is why initiatives like these matter and are making a difference,\u201d said Port Chief Executive Noel Hacegaba.<\/p>\n
Bali over the past year has moved cargo between Long Beach, its facility in San Diego County and into Mexico using trucks powered by a combination of compressed natural gas<\/a> (CNG) and electric batteries.\u00a0<\/p>\n The company, which operates 32 CNG and six EV trucks, plans to\u00a0 secure an additional 20 CNGs and 20 EVs this year, including Tesla Semi trucks, said company director Juan Baez.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving supply chain partners such as Bali Express Services is critical to our zero-emissions mission,\u201d said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna. \u201cBali Express\u2019 efforts will result in cleaner air along a busy international trade route.\u201d<\/p>\n Baez said the company\u2019s goal is to operate a fully zero-emissions fleet of more than 350 trucks by 2040.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI am deeply honored to be recognized by the Port of Long Beach,\u201d Baez said. \u201cIn the last 12 months alone, Bali\u2019s green operations were equivalent to removing 1,930 vehicles from the road. We want to show the world that we can green our trucking operations and be a successful business.\u201d<\/p>\n The port earlier this month announced Zero-Emission Truck Early Leaders Award, which rewards businesses that were the first to adopt zero-emissions trucks to serve marine terminals. Bali Express Services is among the 43 companies eligible for the award.<\/p>\n In May the port signed a memorandum of understanding with The Wonderful Company and Lincoln Transportation Services to establish the world\u2019s first port-powered Green Truck Corridor connecting Long Beach over 150 miles to the state\u2019s Central Valley.<\/p>\n Read more articles by Stuart Chirls\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n Read more:<\/p>\n Trade uncertainty leads South Carolina Ports to temporarily shut down container terminal<\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE: Iran attacks Evergreen vessel in Strait of Hormuz<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Uncertainty?
