GTI preparing to launch ZECAP pilot with fuel cell yard trucks
For 16 months, GTI and its partners have been designing and assembling fuel cell-electric terminal tractors in a project called Zero Emissions for California Ports (ZECAP) that will assess vehicle operation in a demanding, real-world cargo-handling application. (Earlier post.) Performance verification is nearing completion, and the first-of-a-kind pilot project is preparing to launch.
The hydrogen fueling equipment is in final assembly and slated for installation this spring, along with the delivery of trucks.
A terminal tractor (yard truck) is a heavy-duty tractor designed to couple and uncouple quickly with trailers to move them within a cargo yard. More than 1,800 yard trucks operate at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles more than half of all cargo-handling equipment (CHE) at these ports.

“There is no paper exchanging hands, which is timely and effective at a time like this,” said Diane Nguyen, executive director of San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG).
CARB scrap-and-replace incentive program Clean Cars 4 All reaches 10,000th participant milestone
As a direct result of the state’s Clean Cars 4 All program, more than 10,000 Californians have now scrapped old, dirty cars and replaced them with cleaner alternatives such as new and used zero-emission, plug-in hybrid, or hybrid cars.
There is strong consumer demand for Clean Cars 4 All (CC4A) which incentivizes lower-income California drivers to scrap their older, high-polluting cars and replace them with clean cars. Air districts, which administer the individual programs under CC4A, report that despite the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn, total participation rates have continued to rise. Assembly Bill 630 (2017, Cooper) established the CC4A program.
