2018 FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT for DRAYAGE TRUCKS 2018 FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT for DRAYAGE TRUCKS MARCH 2019 UPDATED WITH ADDENDUM MAY 2020 Tetra Tech / Gladstein, Neandross & Associates i | P a g e 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Tetra Tech / Gladstein, Neandross & Associates ii | P a g e 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks Important Notes: 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks The San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan 2017 Update (CAAP) established the need to prepare feasibility assessments to evaluate the status of technology and supporting infrastructure that will be required to achieve the various CAAP strategies. This 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks is the first of the series to be released. It is intended to evaluate the current state of zero-emission (ZE) and near-zero-emission (NZE) fuel-technology platforms suitable for drayage trucks – including infrastructure readiness to fuel and service them. The Assessment’s overarching objective is to characterize feasibility for near-term (2018 to 2021), large-scale deployments of drayage trucks using such platforms. This Assessment is not meant to be a policy document, nor to inventory emission reductions that could be realized through the use of ZE and/or NZE drayage trucks, nor to characterize the associated health benefits. It is not meant to establish timelines for meeting various CAAP goals, or forecast commercialization (especially beyond 2021). It provides a snapshot about which ZE and/or NZE drayage truck platforms are feasible today, or will likely be feasible by 2021 – for widespread deployment across the SPBP complex. Please refer to the Framework for Clean Air Action Plan Feasibility Assessments (2017) document (see report text) for the overall process and intent as laid forth in the CAAP. This Assessment uses tables to summarize ratings about the relative degree to which various drayage truck fuel-technology platforms are deemed to be “feasible” today. This is done for four key feasibility parameters: Commercial Availability, Operational Feasibility, Infrastructure Availability, and Economic Workability. For each main feasibility parameter and the individual criteria that define it, the tables provide pie ratings in quarter increments, which range from “little/no achievement” of a given feasibility criteria, to “fully achieved” today. The use of pie ratings is not meant to represent precise percentages of achievement for a given feasibility criteria. Rather, these ratings summarize the relative degrees of progress towards full or near-full achievement. This Assessment does not include end user monetary incentives when calculating feasibility for every parameter. Incentive sums fluctuate, have uncertain long-term availability, and are not necessarily available to all end users. Thus, some costs calculations presented in this Assessment were calculated based on non-incentivized totals. The Ports intend to prepare updated drayage truck feasibility assessments at least every three years. This will be done more frequently if warranted by new, relevant information. For example, the ports may decide to annually update portions of this Assessment if new ZE and/or NZE technologies become truly commercially available, and/or if there is a breakthrough development with infrastructure. Please Tetra Tech / Gladstein, Neandross & Associates iii | P a g e 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks refer to the Framework for Clean Air Action Plan Feasibility Assessments (2017) document (see text) for the overall process and intent, as laid forth in the CAAP. This Assessment was developed over many months based on significant outreach, research and stakeholder feedback. A draft assessment was released in December 2018 for public comment period, and the report was revised significantly, as deemed necessary. This 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks – as well as the public comments that were received – will be reported to the respective Boards of Harbor Commissioners and posted at www.cleanairactionplan.org. Note: This report was amended with a TRL status update May 2020 as an Addendum.

  • Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper GONE but NOT
    Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper Electric-powered cars have long been a dream for sci-fi writers, energy producers and automotive enthusiasts. In concept, this goal seems easily attainable, but for years inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers alike have tried and ultimately failed to design a reliable and economically attractive electric vehicle. While the recent introduction of gas-electric hybrids has brought the vision closer to reality, the all-electric automobile has steadfastly remained a distant point on our automotive horizon. This may be about to change. In July, Tesla Motors, a three-year old startup company based in San Carlos, California, introduced a prototype of its first all-electric automobile, the Tesla Roadster. A true sports car, the Roadster is hand-built, sleekly designed, fast and nimble. It boasts a range of 250 miles with a top speed of 130 mph. The company plans an initial production run of 100 vehicles at a cost of $100,000 per car, with the first automobile slated for delivery in the summer of 2007. Tesla Motors is the first of a number of enterprising companies who are bringing electric automobiles to the marketplace. The Tesla Roadster is also the first commercially available automobile to incorporate an electric motor powered by a copper motor rotor. This innovative advancement in metallurgical technology increases efficiency, resulting in greater overall power and longer operating distances between charges. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Tesla Motors takes its name from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant pioneer in electrical research. Tesla was fascinated by the potential of electric automobiles, and in 1930 he tested his theories with a car that achieved a top speed of 90 miles an hour.

  • 2021 Thunder Roadster Rules
    Thunder Roadster Official 2021 National Rules (Rules subject to change) May 18, 2021, Version 2.2c © 2019–2021 (Note: Latest revisions are in blue font, and all previous revisions are in green) 1. Introduction The Thunder Roadster Series was created to meet the needs of competitors seeking a low-cost platform utilizing the purpose-built Thunder Roadster chassis and specified parts designed and manufactured by U.S. Legend Cars International. The series focus is on fun, safe, and affordable racing while encouraging driver development, close competition, and comradery between its competitors. 2. Intent The intent of the rules is to establish a clear precedent for discouraging creative interpretation and instead encouraging a ‘showcase’ of driving skill. The series rules seek to eliminate frivolous spending by utilizing specified parts from U.S. Legend Cars International including chassis, body, suspension, brake and engine parts available through authorized dealers or aftermarket suppliers. Other than the modifications specifically allowed in these rules, every part of the car must remain as it came from the factory. The Thunder Roadster is intended to be raced in its preferred class, Thunder Roadster (TR) and may also compete in the appropriate Super Touring (ST) and Time Trial (TT) classes. 3. Sanctioning Body The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) sanctions the Thunder Roadster Series competitions. All decisions made by the series administration are final, except under certain Thunder Roadster Rules 2021 2.2 1 conditions, as specified by the NASA CCR. It is also mandatory that all Thunder Roadster Series competitors have both a current copy of the CCR and the Thunder Roadster Series rules with them during all race events.
