All Aboard the Electric Express

Hold onto your hats and charge your batteries, folks! The Northwest Seaport Alliance is kicking off a revolution in drayage trucking with its inaugural incentive program for zero-emission trucks. Thanks to a generous .2 million grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation, it’s time for a battery-powered leap into the future with 19 snazzy electric semi trucks zooming around the Seattle-Tacoma gateway.

Charge It Up: The New Depot Awaits

But wait, there’s more! This initiative isn’t just about the trucks; it’s about building a whole new ecosystem. Coming soon: a charging depot poised to serve 250 electrifying vehicles daily! With room for 70—yes, seventy—heavy-duty trucks, this charging site will ensure that electric drayage becomes a breeze rather than a chore for operators. Conveniently located near I-5, it’s an easy pit stop for those busy haulers of goods.

The people have spoken: they want less diesel and more clean air! As we see nearly 4,000 short-haul trucks buzzing about our ports, these electric beauties promise not just cleaner air, but a new era in truck logistics. So, fellow citizens of the PNW, let’s welcome this change with wide-open arms and well-charged batteries!
