Cargotec, Vision Industries to put on zero-emission demo at L.A.-Long Beach port complex
A zero-emissions terminal tractor demonstration will be part of the Technology Advancement Program at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, according to a joint announcement made by vehicle manufacturer Vision Industries and marine terminal equipment provider Cargotec USA.
The TAP project calls for demonstrating the use of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-electric hybrid terminal tractors to move containerized cargo within the two ports' facilities.
Vision Industries said it would be installing a hybrid drive system on a Kalmar Ottawa model.
"There is a growing global demand for clean container movement technologies," says David Wood, director of terminal Tractors in North America for Cargotec USA Inc.
