The grant, part of the Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities (RTEPF) program, supports Voltera's goal to electrify America's ports.
The Savannah project, receiving US$7.8 million, aims to enhance drayage operations at the Port of Savannah. Developed with Georgia Power, it will offer up to 23 MW of charging capacity and over 120 charging bays for Class 8 electric drayage trucks, potentially reducing emissions by up to 37,000 metric tons annually.
In Wilmington, California, the project, receiving US$1.8 million, targets connection routes to the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. With 20 charging bays and four MW of charging capacity, it could reduce emissions by up to 6,300 metric tons per year.
Voltera CEO Matt Horton emphasised the importance of government support in catalysing private investment, furthering Voltera's mission to accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight operations. With 21 charging projects underway nationwide, Voltera says its proactive approach to site acquisition and development is driving momentum for large-scale adoption of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) fleets, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable transportation infrastructure.
