Virginia Business | Full Story

The Port of Virginia has received a $750,000 grant to be used toward the purchase of low-emission, hybrid cargo-handling equipment.

The port is using the money from the Environmental Protection Agency to help replace three older Tier 1 diesel-powered straddle carriers, which are used to move cargo containers around the port's terminals. The port will use the money to help purchase Tier 4 diesel-electric shuttle carriers, another type of container-moving equipment. The carriers will be the first of its kind to be used on the East Coast.
