Fast Company highlights how Forum Mobility is enabling electric drayage at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach—key hubs handling ~40% of U.S. container imports—by providing turnkey EV truck and charging solutions to small fleets like Hight Logistics.. Despite California’s mandate for 100% zero-emission drayage by 2035 and fewer than 250 BEV drayage trucks registered statewide, Forum Mobility is demonstrating rapid progress: its trucks are already operational across daily ~160-mile round-trip routes, replacing diesel with no cost penalty, thanks to incentives and lower fuel savings.
CEO Matt LeDucq stresses the importance of ensuring equitable and economically viable deployment: “We cannot force truckers … lose money”. Fast Company underscores how Forum’s model—building charging infrastructure, leasing vehicles, and navigating incentives—empowers small operators to comply with zero-emission rules while meeting shipping demand, especially from ESG-driven cargo owners like Lime.
