Air regulators say zero-emission trucks at Ontario yard will help “build the future”

Officials with third party logistics company NFI and regulators with the California Air Resources Board, California Energy Commission and South Coast Air Quality Management District celebrate the opening of a zero-emission truck yard in Ontario.

NFI Solutions, a supply chain company, transformed a run-down RV and boat lot into a zero-emission truck yard.

The new yard features 50 electric trucks that move goods between the ports of Los Angeles and warehouse hubs in the Inland Empire.

Diesel trucks emit smog and tiny particles into the air that are known to cause respiratory diseases for people living near freeways and warehouses.

NFI officials say their battery-powered trucks and electric charging ports will help replace up to 3 million gallons of diesel fuel per year.
