LNG Hybrid Yard Hostler Demonstration and
Commercialization Project
Location: Long Beach,
California
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the performance
of hybrid yard hostlers in day-to-day operations at a marine
terminal. The Port of Long Beach will research and purchase
three hybrid yard hostlers and put them into service at the
Long Beach Container Terminal. Project activities include a
six-month performance evaluation (using categories such as fuel
economy and operator acceptance) relative to baseline diesel
yard hostlers, emissions testing relative to baseline diesel
yard hostlers, and the creation of a business case assessment
for broader use of hybrid yard hostlers both inside and outside
of the marine sector.
