Go-Station, Current, PortCity, and PFC Team

Go-Station is proud to announce the first electric drayage truck pull at the Port of Savannah, in partnership with Current and Port Fuel Center (PFC).

PORT WENTWORTH, GA, USA, May 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On May 9th, 2024, logistics provider, PortCity, performed a full turn with the all-electric Freightliner eCascadia, powered by Go-Station chargers, to and from the Port of Savannah with a fully loaded container as part of an ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. With the growing demand for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, this monumental milestone recognizes the viability of investing in cleaner technologies to promote a greener future for the transportation industry and our communities.

“In addition to the truck's comfort, zero emissions, and noise-free operation, our turn used only an impressive 3% of the truck's charge, including sitting idle in line at the port while waiting for our container. This means that an all-electric truck can easily do 6 to 7 turns for 2 to 3 days of work without recharging, making it a powerful option to advance sustainable supply chains and drive positive environmental change,” Eric Howell, PortCity’s CEO, explains.

“This first all-electric pull represents a significant step towards our goal of bringing sustainable, zero-emissions hauling options to fleet operators in the US and Canada. Thank you to all our extraordinary like-minded partners who made this historic day a possibility and to all who attended our event,” Andrew Hisey, Go-Station’s President and CEO, says.

Attendance at the event included Tim Echols, Commissioner, Georgia Public Service Commission; Thomas Barbee, Port Wentworth Mayor Pro-Tem; Steve Davis, Port Wentworth City Manager; Sean Randerwala and Rufus Bright, Port Wentworth Council Members; CEO and senior leaders from Port City Logistics; CEO of JIT Warehousing & Logistics; Director of Sustainability of GA Ports; South Carolina Ports Authority; the Center for Transportation and the Environment; and others.
