TransPower demonstrated the efficiency of its new semi-trucks when powered by Flux Power batteries and battery pack technology at the Expo. Similar to those used in the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, the trucks have been designed to offload shipping containers and offer a solution that can eradicate the need for traditional diesel powered engines, significantly reducing emissions.

Chris Anthony, CEO, Flux Power, said: “Our innovative battery management solutions are ideal for automotive manufacturers looking to migrate towards efficient, clean technology vehicles for the future. Flux’s battery management solutions are flexible enough to be used in a variety of applications, yet powerful enough to deliver the performance that industrial vehicles need to get the job done.”

Electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular – slowly displacing traditional combustion vehicles – as electric vehicle technology becomes more advanced making them easier to manage in confined and congested ports than the conventional combustion vehicles.
