In preparation for upcoming regulations outlined in the San
Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), Overseas Freight
obtained Prop 1B funding for five Kenworth T-680 trucks outfitted
with the new Cummins-Westport (CWI) near-zero ISX12N natural gas
engine, which achieves the lowest emission levels in North America
while delivering diesel caliber performance with reliability and
durability. The ISX12N is certified by California Air Resources
Board (CARB) to reduce smog-forming NOx emissions by 90 percent
compared to the current engine standard.
“America Lung Association State of the Air Report cited Los
Angeles and Long Beach with having the worst air quality in the
state. Overseas Freight is taking a positive step forward in
reducing air pollution in the region by deploying the cleanest
truck technology that can be easily and economically adopted,” said
Greg Roche, vice president, Clean Energy.
Overseas Freight has contracted for RNG fuel through the Clean
Energy Redeem $1 Deal, which guarantees a fixed fuel price of one
dollar per gallon for a year. Redeem allows customers to achieve a
reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 70 percent
versus diesel. Organically sourced from dairy and landfill waste,
Redeem is the cleanest commercially available fuel for trucking,
with some RNG sources even reducing GHG emissions by over 100
percent.
“We’re pleased to be part of an effort to help improve air
quality in the LA and Long Beach ports and support CAAP in
fostering more sustainable freight movement,” said Joseph Wang,
president and CEO, Overseas Freight. “Clean Energy has been a good
partner for years and we are excited to use Redeem at a price far
below diesel. South Coast AQMD made this project possible with
vital grant funding and we deeply appreciate their support.”
“The twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are vital economic
engines for this region, but at the same time are the largest
source of air pollution in Southern California,” said Wayne Nastri,
executive officer, South Coast Air Quality Management District. “We
applaud Overseas Freight for adopting a near-zero natural gas
solution and AQMD is proud to support the effort with Prop 1B grant
funding.”
