CLEAN TRUCKS * USA - Long Beach port expands LNG truck fleet
Long Beach,CAL,USA -Energy Current -21 July 2009: -- The Port of Long Beach recently awarded subsidies for 100 new trucks, of which 98 were alternatively fueled liquefied natural gas (LNG) models. The trucks will add to a growing local fleet of less polluting vehicles which, under the Port's Clean Trucks Program, will reduce truck-related air pollution by 80 percent by 2012... Since the program began in late 2008, nearly 5,000 "clean" trucks have registered to work at the Port. The clean trucks now carry more than half of cargo containers in and out of the Port. By 2012, trucks that do not meet the strict 2007 federal "clean" truck emission standards will be banned from the ports. The 100 new truck subsidies were awarded through a lottery on July 7 from more than 1,200 applicants that included trucking companies and independent operators...
