HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 5.Jun.2025, Words: 198) — APM Terminals Pier 400 deployed the largest fleet of electric terminal tractors (ETTs) in the Port of Los Angeles. This marks a significant milestone in the terminal’s effort to decarbonize operations while strengthening the skills of the ILWU workforce.
Delivered in collaboration with the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Orange EVand Pier 400’s labor and maintenance partner the Pacific Crane Maintenance Company (PCMC), the rollout reflects Pier 400’s strategy to drive progress through innovation and inclusive workforce development, Kansas City-based Orange EV announced on 5 Jun. 2025 in an official statement.
The initial deployment includes 10 fully commissioned ETTs with another 10 arriving by the end of Jul. 2025, replacing nearly 30% of Pier 400’s diesel terminal tractor fleet.
The move supports APM Terminals’ broader ambition to achieve net-zero emissions at Pier 400 by 2030 — a goal underpinned by a clear roadmap to reduce energy consumption, replace legacy equipment, and decarbonize operations at scale, according to Orange EV.
