Amazon unveils first electric seaport trucks amid push to slash tailpipe emissions
) electric big rigs it plans to deploy this year to pick up cargo from the nation's busiest container seaport in southern California.
The deployment is a first for Amazon, extending its vehicle electrification projects across its land-based logistics network that stretches from ocean ports to customer doorsteps. The effort is vital to the company's push to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. "Heavy-duty trucking is a particularly difficult area to decarbonize," said Udit Madan, Amazon's vice president of worldwide operations.) electric cargo delivery vans across the country since 2022. The transition to electric semi trucks will be a heavier lift, largely because their bigger batteries require more intensive charging infrastructure.
In the near term, Amazon's electric port trucks will charge at an offsite facility operated by Forum Mobility, a startup that counts Amazon's Climate Pledge fund among its early investors. On May 15, Forum Mobility will break ground on a Port of Long Beach depot that promises to deliver high-speed charging for hundreds of drayage trucks each day.
