The main container ports on the West Coast of the USA, Los Angeles and Long Beach, have allocated $25 million, €12.5 million for each airport, for the construction of charging for electric trucks operating with the two ports Californian. The financial resources will be disbursed under the Clean Air Action Plan, the plan to improve quality air pollution and reduce air pollution from ports, with the associated health risks, which dates back to the now distant 2006 and has since been repeatedly updated. 'With more than 23,000 trucks operating in the port - he pointed out Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero - the investment potential of the Clean Truck Fund is essential to our efforts to improve the air quality. These projects carried out with our partners demonstrate that the programme is working as intended, and show that here in San Pedro Bay, the movement of goods to Zero emissions is not a fashion phrase, but a goal On which we are making progress every day."

The Clean Truck Fund is funded through the application of the Clean Truck Fund Rate, which is since April 2022 and which amounts to $10 per 20' full container carried by trucks or $20 per 40' full containers. The following are exempt from paying the fee containers transported by zero-emission trucks and, in some cases, circumstances, from trucks to low nitrogen oxide emissions. The application of this tariff was allowed until last March to the Port of Long Beah to raise nearly $75 million, and to the Port of Los Angeles to collect about $78 million. The is the responsibility of the Beneficial Cargo Owners or their and the Regulation expressly prohibits the is charged to hauliers. The current plan provides that these tariffs will be applied until the first of January 2035, with an amount that may be subject to change.
