APM Terminals says it will open its “Clean Truck Express” lane at its Pier 400 Los Angeles terminal starting December 5, a dedicated lane exclusively for vehicles registered in the Port of Los Angeles “Clean Truck Program.”
Approximately 3,000 trucks pass through APM Terminals Pier 400’s truck gates each weekday, with over 850,000 truck transactions in the past 12-months, and nearly 1,200 trucks are registered in the Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program.
APM says that, by providing a dedicated lane for these trucks, they will reduce gate-in times for customers, thereby minimizing energy consumption, lowering emissions, and improving operational efficiency.
The express lane is a result of Pier 400’s collaborative effort with local trucking communities and industry leaders.
“This initiative is not just about reducing emissions; it’s about redefining industry standards and helping our customers and communities transition towards sustainable supply chains,” said Jon Poelma, managing director of APM Terminals Pier 400.
APM Terminals aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
