The Los Angeles Business Council recently came out with a study on the California zero emission drayage market. They helpfully give a shout out to the importance of multi-fleet shared depots, especially in enabling small fleets to successfully make the transition. That's Forum's bread and butter. The report outlines several recommendations to support the timely transition to zero-emission trucks. Among them: ➡️ Accelerate the development of electric charging infrastructure by streamlining the permitting process.   ➡️ Expand subsidies to cover steep truck prices. New battery-electric or hydrogen-fuel-cell trucks can cost between $400,000 – $600,000, up to four times the price of new diesel trucks and five times that of used diesel trucks – which are typically used by small drayage firms.    ➡️ Support the development of a secondhand zero-emission truck market. The report recommends that California prime the development of a secondhand market through various time-limited incentives.

Zero Emission Freight is the next big thing in corporate sustainability leadership. Forum's CEO Matt LeDucq is speaking at this event, lifting up the ability of our customers to move goods without the emissions. Shippers have a huge role to play, and it's great to be a part of this discussion at Climate Week.

Welcoming Green Fleet Systems to FM Harbor Depot! We’re excited to announce that Green Fleet Systems has joined us at our FM Harbor Depot at the Port of Long Beach. Known for their commitment to sustainability, Green Fleet continues to lead the way—first with near-zero emission technology and now with battery-electric Class 8 trucks. By partnering with Forum Mobility, Green Fleet will leverage our cutting-edge charging infrastructure at FM Harbor, pushing the envelope in green logistics. As shippers increasingly prioritize reducing supply chain emissions, Green Fleet is well-positioned to meet that demand, build relationships with top BCOs, and thrive in this growing market.

Today, the US Department of the Treasury released a notice of proposed rulemaking on the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (section 30 C). It's helpful progress in lowering costs for charging. We appreciate the Biden Administration's support for lowering the costs of zero emission transportation. https://lnkd.in/eBNP26wq

Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! This week, we’re proud to recognize the hard work and dedication of professional truck drivers who keep America moving. To show our gratitude, Neil G. Brennan, our Director of Operations, thanked our customers' drivers with a well-deserved breakfast burrito break. To all the truck drivers out there—thank you for everything you do to keep our world moving. We recognize your hard work, respect the dedication, and truly appreciate your efforts!

As California accelerates efforts to decarbonize heavy-duty vehicles, the electric truck industry faces significant challenges. UC Berkeley's Center for the Law, Energy, and Environment and UCLA Law joined together to publish a new report, "Fueling and Financing: Addressing the Urgent Challenges Facing Electric Heavy-Duty Vehicle Deployment." The report provides solutions for building out essential charging infrastructure to securing financing for vehicle purchases. To learn more, join Forum Mobility's VP of Finance, Jacqueline (Bruns) Torres, for an insightful webinar diving into the latest developments, key challenges, and actionable solutions. ➡️ Register now to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gUv7AxPi ➡️ Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/gD8gqACJ

A recent Forum Mobility milestone: our customers' fleets have logged over 288,000 miles of zero emission drayage service out of the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach That’s more than the distance from the Earth to the moon. All with over 99% uptime. We’ve provided over 4,400 successful charging sessions, with over 634,000 kWhs dispensed. If you are looking to get on the road to zero emission drayage, we don’t promise you the moon – just convenient depots, reliable charging, and great service.  If that sounds good to you, Ron A Hunt can get you set up with one of our staffed, secure, and convenient depots in either SoCal or NorCal.
