Heavy Duty Fuel Cell Electric Truck Ready For Delivery

Ready or not, the future of heavy-duty trucking has arrived at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The first fuel cell electric Class 8 trucks built under California’s Zero and Near Zero Emissions Freight Forwarding (ZANZEFF) project has been delivered to demonstration fleet customers. Toyota Logistics Services and Southern California Express will receive their own Kenworth T680, each truck being powered by a Toyota fuel cell electric drivetrain. Both zero-emissions trucks will be employed in drayage operations in the shipping ports of L.A. and Long Beach, ports which have long served as major points of air pollution in the past.
