Clean Truck * USA - Progress By The Numbers
Clean Truck Programs' Six months: 23 percent of the trucks at the Port of Los Angeles and 21 percent of the trucks calling at the Port of Long Beach meet the 2007 emissions standard
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Cunningham Report -29 March 2009: -- ... As of last week, the Port of L.A. reported about 3,500 trucks that are 2007-compliant out of approximately 15,000 trucks registered to call at its terminals. The Port of Long Beach reported 3,192 trucks that are 2007-compliant out of some 14,853 registered trucks. The numbers are similar because most trucks are registered at both ports, even though the ports maintain separate registries... The numbers show that the nation's busiest harbor complex is making progress toward greening the privately owned truck fleet that serves its terminals. The fee on older trucks - a carrot to most of those who invested in 2007-compliant models and a stick to those yet to do so - is expected to boost port business for companies converting their fleets ahead of schedule... But the numbers also show there is a long way to go. Between now and the end of the year, the ports have to find a way to replace all of the trucks that are older than model year 1994 or unretrofitted trucks that are model year 1994-2003...

Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Mar 30, 2009: -- Lawyers representing the American Trucking Associations and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on April 27 will present oral arguments in the ports’ clean-truck case... In a related development, the Federal Maritime Commission, which is suing the ports in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., over other elements of the clean-truck plan, determined at the weekend that it will cite the 9th Circuit’s ruling in its case. The ports requested that the 9th Circuit’s comments not be included in the FMC’s case... The commission is challenging the clean-truck plan’s truck fees, and exemptions from those fees, in its case before the Washington district court...Labels: Clean Trucks Program
