APM Terminals plans to integrate 96 electric yard trucks into its operations in New Jersey, according to Transport Dive. This initiative represents a substantial investment in electric equipment for the terminal.
The new fleet of electric vehicles will be supplied by Orange EV. This move aligns with broader industry trends towards decarbonization and operational efficiency within port environments.
This expansion in New Jersey follows a recent upgrade to the electric equipment at APM Terminals' facility in Los Angeles. The company has been progressively electrifying its ground support equipment.
The deployment of these electric trucks is expected to contribute to reduced emissions and noise pollution at the New Jersey terminal. Such advancements are crucial for modern port infrastructure.
The adoption of electric yard trucks underscores APM Terminals' commitment to sustainable practices. It also highlights the growing availability and reliability of electric solutions for heavy-duty port operations.
