LONG BEACH, Calif. - Californer -- BYD (Build Your Dreams) will showcase U.S. assembled battery-electric 8TT and 8Y trucks Wednesday at the Harbor Trucking Association's Ride and Drive, a free event open to the general public.
The BYD 8TT and 8Y trucks are the first commercially available all-electric class 8-day cab and terminal tractors similar to those being currently operated in the port of Long Beach. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 2100 W. Anaheim St. Long Beach, CA 90802.
BYD Senior Vice President Patrick Duan said the Long Beach Ride and Drive event offers a unique opportunity for those interested in electric vehicles to get some hands-on experience. BYD employees will be available to demonstrate and answer questions.
"This is a great opportunity for people to learn more about the electrification of heavy duty vehicles," Duan said. "The Long Beach port has been a key player in moving towards all-electric infrastructure, and we welcome this opportunity to showcase our models like the 8TT and 8Y which are 'Hard at Work' throughout the U.S."
