291 Vision Motor Corp, which has been marketing its Class 8 zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell hybrid-electric truck for more than a year, is working with the 287 Port of Los Angeles to further evaluate its performance in the rigorous port trucking environment. The Vision trucks are powered by a combination of a hydrogen fuel cell and lithium batteries and have a potential range of up to 600km.

The Port of Los Angeles believes that zero-emission vehicles will be necessary in the coming years in order to contribute to achieving the goals for the transportation and port sectors under California's AB32 greenhouse gas reduction legislation and the City's GreenLA initiative. This has led the Port to begin planning for a transition to zero-emission vehicles over the next decade.
