What backs it

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has initiated a $45 million program to deploy zero-emission drayage trucks and charging infrastructure at the East Coast's busiest seaport, with up to $39 million in point-of-sale vouchers for vehicles and $5 million for five charging hubs.

Worth noting

The program is designed to accelerate deployment; full electrification of the port's truck fleet will require ongoing expansion and investment beyond this initiative.
