Forum Mobility, a zero emission trucking solutions provider, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new FM Harbor charging depot in the Port of Long Beach.
The facility will offer 19 dual-port 360 kW chargers and six 360 kW single-dispenser chargers with the ability to charge 44 electric drayage trucks simultaneously and more than 200 trucks daily.
The facility is expected to be finished by the end of the year and will be part of Forum Mobility’s network of heavy-duty truck charging depots located in ports and on routes to common freight destinations.
“Forum is building dedicated infrastructure for heavy-duty trucks to transition from diesel to electricity,” Matt LeDucq, Forum Mobility, CEO and co-founder, said. “With the support of the Port of Long Beach, the FM Harbor depot will provide drayage truckers a turn-key solution for zero-emission freight. At Forum Mobility facilities like this one, fleets can make the transition simply and without using their own capital.”
The company offers truck operators monthly subscription options that include charging, or charging plus a truck in one package.
Companies that have secured reservations to utilize the facility include Amazon Global Mile, Ocean Network Express (North America) / Boxlinks, Redefined Transportation, and Talon Logistics.
