 Aiming to develop a plan for a pollution-free cargo-moving system, the Port of Long Beach is calling for technology ideas to one day replace the diesel trucks that travel between Port marine terminals and a local rail yard. The Port officially issued a "Request for Concepts and Solutions," on Wednesday, June 3, outlining the goals and requirements of the project, known as the zero-emission container mover system (ZECMS). To help potential idea submitters, the Port will hold a “pre-submittal conference” on July 9, 2009, at Port of Long Beach headquarters. Document submissions will be due by 4:30 p.m. September 25, 2009.
