Hi Peri,

Astute observation!  There are at least 3 companies bidding with various ports to electrify their tugs. Even the drivers like these new vehicles - they have aircon and stereos!  :)

Cheers, Peter

One thing I've noticed is that Seattle's smog has mostly disappeared. However, over our industrial area, between the shipping terminals and the railyards, there's a very noticeable brown cloud. While admittedly this is a subjective deduction, this shows that the diesel tractors which make thousands of trips a day between these two close points are contributing a lot of particulate and other emissions.

Need to get them to switch to electric !

Peri
