Electric Tacoma

The Port of Tacoma’s South Intermodal Yard (SIM) has received six new electric cargo trucks. The US$2.2 million investment is part of the port’s wider electric truck project. Each of the new electric units will be used to move containers on chassis to and from both the container stack in the yard and rail cars for onward movement. Funding support is from public utility service provider, Tacoma Power, logistics company Rail Management Services (RMS) and the Diesel Reduction Act (DERA) grant funds
