September 6, 2006: Port of Long Beach Hybrid Yard Hostler Demonstration and Commercialization Project
Can “Prius-like” Diesel-Hybrids Improve Air Quality and Survive Work in a Cargo Terminal?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presented a $300,000 grant on Wednesday to the Port of Long Beach to fund the development of hybrid-powered cargo-handling equipment and testing at one of the Port’s container shipping terminals.
The two-year, $1.2 million project will research, develop, build and test ultra-low emissions hybrid cargo-handling vehicles, known as “yard hostlers,” to improve air quality. The project will test hybrid technology, which combines a clean source of power with a clean diesel engine for dramatic emissions reductions
