LA backs hydrogen trucks to cut port emissions
Port of Los Angeles seeks to eliminate emissions from myriad short-haul vehicles by 2030

Earlier this month, the port took delivery of five class 8 heavy duty FCEV haulers co-manufactured by US-based Kenworth and Japan's Toyota. Another five are still to be delivered.
