Truck Electrification
Advancing progress toward the Transportation Electrification Partnership’s 2028 targets for medium and heavy-duty trucks.
The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the busiest in the Nation.
With thousands of diesel trucks moving nearly 40% of the nation’s cargo from the ports complex through our region to their final destination, goods movement is the region’s single largest source of air pollution, creating a climate and public health emergency.
We are advocating for abundant, strategically-sited charging infrastructure along the I-710 to support the transition to battery-electric trucks.
In our I-710 Investment Blueprint, LACI developed a multisectoral process to identify site locations ideal for installing drayage truck charging infrastructure and to evaluate the investment needed in Los Angeles County to meet our zero emission drayage truck deployment targets.
We have secured funding for three battery-electric truck charging depots out of the 20 depots called for in the I-710 Blueprint. Our research and advocacy is leading to investments by regional, state and federal agencies.
With $15 million in grants secured, we are unlocking resources and private capital, so that we are able to leverage the initial investment to equal up to $75 million.
The Transportation Electrification Partnership’s 2028 Goods Movement Goals
40%
of short haul and drayage trucks on the road are zero emission.
Up to 95,000
chargers installed for goods movement.
5%
of long haul trucks on the road are zero emission.
60%
of medium duty delivery trucks are electric.
