City of Seattle Announces $1.5 million in Funding to Help Bring New Electric Drayage Trucks to Seattle

The City of Seattle today announced $1.5 million in truck purchasing incentives to Zeem Solutions (Zeem), a business leader in designing, building, and operating electric vehicle charging depots for commercial fleets. Zeem has partnered with local truck companies to bring to market 12 new electric Class 8 trucks that will primarily serve the Port of Seattle. Diesel drayage trucks contribute significantly to air pollution, disproportionately impacting communities along freight corridors in the Duwamish Valley.
