Ok, you are talking about trucks.

Battery electrics can be suitable for local drayage. There have been mixed 
results, but the technology is improving.

For two port technology reviews that are relatively recent, but not completely 
up-to-date, look for technology reviews prepared by the California Air 
Resources Board,  and a joint one by the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

The situation is a result of how the Port of Seattle operates. Here's 
one article that is pretty up-to-date:

https://www.truckinginfo.com/278641/seattles-independent-port-drivers-get-more-time-to-buy-clean-trucks

Most important, Port of Seattle uses independent truck drivers, who 
provide their own tractors. About 13 years ago, the city and port came 
up with some regulations, the "clean truck program," which were supposed 
to go into effect this year, but the deadline has been extended. 
Truckers are strongly resisting. Some have invested and complied. Others 
say they can't afford to invest in new technology. The truckers say they 
get slim margins on loads, not leaving enough to buy new equipment. Some 
also claim newer trucks aren't as reliable as old ones.


None of the above even considers e-tractors. That's a hard sell to an 
independent trucker who may also want to use their tractor for long 
haul.


In my opinion, if Port of Seattle wants to attain zero emissions, they 
are going to have to subsidize e-tractors or even provide them and 
outright ban anything else.

A yard tractor is nowhere near as challenging as a tug.

And the success for yard tractors has not been good. We will see how BYDs next 
projects do.

Or are you not talking about terminal yard tractors? The terminal operators own 
those, not drivers. Are you talking about drayage trucks?

 Wayne Alexander was doing tugs.  I think to push airplanes around.  That was

Yes, quite a number of companies are doing buses, with mixed results. Short 
distance drayage are getting there (hopefully the Tesla and Nikola trucks will 
prove successful). But for the uses of really really heavy things, there hasn’t 
been much success.

For airport tugs, there has been an unmet need, so if you know someone that has 
a product, have them contact me offline.

That's good news.

I've also heard push back from the drivers, who typically own their 
tractors. Many have fairly recently bought tractors for on the order of 
$100K and say they can't afford to switch for many years. I think the 
Port is going to have to subsidize this somehow or it might take 10-20 
years.

Re: [EVDL] (no ice= clean air) % Happy Earth Day %> Consider An EV

2020-04-24 Thread Peri Hartman via EV
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 !
