GSC Logistics to test more electric big rigs at Port of Oakland
The rigs would both have twin 241-horse power battery-driven motors.
GSC Logistics, Oakland, Calif., announced plans to acquire two more electric big rigs to discover if zero-emission tractors can haul cargo containers over highways.
“Our first tractor is fine moving containers around the port; it does the job,” says Brandon Taylor, director of transportation. “Now we want to test these new trucks on the road – the manufacturer says they can haul fully loaded containers 55 miles per hour up a steep grade.”
