The program is managed by the Regional Planning Commission’s Clean Fuel Partnership program.
Costs offset
This funding helped the port offset the costs of two plug-in hybrid electric F-150s equipped with extended range technology, including a high voltage lithium battery pack and regenerative braking.
The systems, developed by XL, enable an estimated 50% increase in miles per gallon and 33% decrease in emissions. Project partners celebrated this innovative clean transportation project at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday at the port.
Port President and CEO Brandy D. Christian thanked the Regional Planning Commission and the Clean Fuel Partnership, as well as XL. 'We look forward to continuing to implement projects that help drive energy-efficiency and sustainability,' she said.
