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.”
