Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global leader in
direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs),
today announced that the company has completed the installation and
operationalization of 33 of its chargers at the SSA Terminals, LLC
container terminal at Pier C in the Port of Long Beach in
California. The 175kW chargers are equipped with Stäubli mechanized
charging connectors to support the terminal’s electric-drive
terminal tractors, which are used to transport shipping containers
and increase efficiency of the port’s operations. The project is
the first large-scale port EV charging program using mechanized
charging connectors in North America.
“Tritium’s partnership with SSA Terminals and the
Port of Long Beach is a project we are immensely proud of,” said
Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “Autonomous charging is the future for EV
depots and we’re excited to be leading the fast charger
manufacturers in operationalizing hands-free charging for the Port
of Long Beach. We applaud the State of California and the Port’s
commitment to reducing emissions and we look forward to supporting
the Port in this important technology transition.”
SSA Terminals, a subsidiary of SSA Marine and a joint venture
with Matson Navigation Company, selected Tritium to provide all
chargers for the project. Stäubli Electrical Connectors, a leading
global manufacturer of electrical connector solutions, manufactured
the fully automated high-power Quick Charging Connector (QCC)
systems used for the terminal’s fleet of Tritium chargers. The
technology automatically connects Tritium’s chargers to charge
ports on each terminal tractor, creating a safe and efficient
zero-touch charging system, saving the port time and money.
“SSA Terminals has a long history of driving
innovation by testing and deploying new technologies that have the
potential to reduce emissions in our operations,” said SSA
Terminals Vice President Paul Gagnon. “With their reliability,
small footprint, and high-powered charging capabilities, Tritium’s
technology was an ideal fit for the Port of Long Beach. We’re
grateful for their partnership in this landmark effort.”
The program is part of California Climate Investments, a
statewide initiative that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to
work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy,
and improving public health and the environment, particularly in
disadvantaged communities.
“The Port of Long Beach has a unique opportunity
to pivot our operations towards a future that is better for our
communities and neighborhoods,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario
Cordero. “We’re pleased to be using Tritium’s industry-leading
chargers to electrify our fleet and appreciate their partnership in
this crucial program.”
The project is funded by the $50 million Port of Long Beach
grant obtained from the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB)
Zero and Near Zero Emission Freight Facility (ZANZEFF) program.
