Balqon Corporation, which develops and manufactures zero emissions, heavy-duty electric vehicles and drive systems, has collaborated with T&K Logistics, Inc. to provide an electric transportation solution for Ford Motor Company at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan.
Under the arrangement, 10 Balqon Model XE20 (earlier post) 30-ton capacity electric yard tractors will be leased to T&K Logistics, Inc., a provider of logistics services to Ford Motor Company and manager of on-site transportation of trailers and containers at the Wayne facility.
Development and demonstration of Balqon’s electric yard tractors was funded in part by the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), beginning in 2007.
