Get Your New Clean Truck from Westrux International

The State of California is offering to subsidize upgrades of trucks to clean up our air.

The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have launched a Clean Trucks Program that will reduce pollution emitted by harbor trucks by more than 80 percent by January 1, 2012.

The program will be administered jointly by both ports with the focus on scrapping and replacing more than 16,000 trucks that do not meet the 2007 emissions standard. This program will fund approximately 80% of the cost of the new truck. The more efficient engine should provide a maintenance and fuel cost savings that will more than cover the balance.

The drive train of the new truck is covered with a 5 year / 250,000 mile, full parts and labor, warranty. A 7 year lease option offered by the ports even includes free maintenance including inspections, oil, fluids and filters.

Slated to begin October 1st 2008 a tariff of $35 per loaded twenty foot container (TEU) will be charged to the beneficial cargo owner to help fund the replacements. Funding from California Proposition 1B is also available to assist in the modernization of older polluting vehicles.

Any Licensed Motor Carrier or Owner Operator that purchases their own emissions compliant vehicle without port funding assistance may be eligible for a partial or complete exemption from this tariff.
