Long Beach and Los Angeles will begin collecting a rate of US$10 per TEU on loaded import and export containers
The Clean Truck Fund (CTF) fee is an important part of the port’s bid to achieve zero-emission trailer shipping by 2035, as it will help incentivize a switch from haul trucks to cleaner trucks.
It will also generate up to $90 million in the first year to accelerate the development of zero-emission technologies, according to the Port of Long Beach.
