In a major step forward for sustainable logistics, 4Gen Logistics proudly announces the inauguration of one of the largest heavy-duty vehicle charging depots in the United States, located at the Port of Long Beach. This cutting-edge facility, featuring 30 hyper-fast chargers capable of delivering 350 kilowatts (kW) each, is reshaping the future of zero-emission freight. As a critical component of our mission to achieve a 100% emission-free fleet in Long Beach, CA, and the Inland Empire, this development signifies a bold commitment to a cleaner, greener logistics industry.
Advancing Zero-Emissions Transportation
“The launch of this station is a major milestone in the Port of Long Beach’s transition to zero-emissions drayage trucks,” said Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero. This station directly supports the port’s goal of achieving a zero-emission truck fleet by 2035 and reinforces 4Gen Logistics’ leadership in sustainable transportation.
David Duncan, CEO of 4Gen Logistics, added, “This facility represents more than just infrastructure—it’s a cornerstone of our commitment to creating a fully zero-emission freight network. Our goal is to be the first large fleet to operate entirely with zero-emission vehicles, and this charging station brings us closer to achieving that vision.”
The chargers provide the infrastructure needed for our rapidly growing EV fleet in Long Beach, CA, ensuring quick turnaround times for Class 8 zero-emission trucks. With this capability, 4Gen Logistics is setting the standard for freight transportation that prioritizes both performance and environmental responsibility.
Strategic Collaboration for Sustainable Infrastructure
This achievement is part of a larger collaboration with Electrify America, the nation’s largest open DC fast-charging network. The first phase of the project includes the Long Beach facility and the recently operational charging station in Rialto, CA.
“The new charging stations will help reduce emissions in the region while providing a model for other ports,” added Cordero. As we expand, plans for an additional 30 chargers in Long Beach and 16 in Rialto will bolster our ability to maintain a 100% emission-free fleet in the Inland Empire.
Impact on the EV Fleet in Long Beach, CA, and the Inland Empire
With this new depot, 4Gen Logistics is addressing a critical need for accessible, reliable charging infrastructure. “The charging station reflects the Port of Long Beach’s commitment to supporting the freight industry’s transition to clean energy,” said Steven Neal, President of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners.
For 4Gen Logistics, this means enhanced operational efficiency for our EV fleet in Long Beach, CA, as well as a sustainable blueprint for freight transportation across the Inland Empire.
