Zero-emission trucks traveling trade corridors in the South Coast region will soon have more opportunities to refuel, thanks to a project with the MSRC, the California Energy Commission (CEC), Caltrans, and other project partners. These agencies are all partnering on the West Coast Truck Charging and Fueling Corridor Project, a three-state, border-to-border, zero-emission refueling infrastructure program focused on constructing EV charging and hydrogen refueling stations for medium and heavy-duty trucks along 2,500 miles of key freight corridors, including Interstate 5.

The City of Temecula added eight Level 2 dual EV chargers to three community lots around the City. The MSRC provided more than $111,000 in Clean Transportation Funding for this project through its Local Government Partnership Program designed to help local jurisdictions “jumpstart” their clean air projects.

MHX, LLC, a full-service logistics operations company, has added 10 Kenworth T680E battery-electric Class 8 trucks to its fleet at its anchor facility in Fontana. These new e-trucks are part of the company’s pilot program to eventually transition its current fleet of 75 heavy-duty diesel trucks in California to zero-emission.
