Port of LA turns to electric terminal trucks to to slash dwell times (electrek.co)

APM Terminals’ Pier 400 at the Port of Los Angeles added 20 electric terminal tractors and other electrified equipment, cutting truck dwell times from about 90 minutes to 35. The company says the switch reduced truck idle time by nearly 85%, helped by “green lanes” for zero-emission vehicles, tighter gate operations, and improved rail and yard coordination. Pier 400 also plugs ships into shore power and plans to expand electrification, increasing electricity use from about 7 MW to over 18 MW.
