The Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) is buying 200 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks to promote a greener environment.

This purchase will make up about 15 percent of its truck fleet. PSA expects to award the winning bid to the company who have won the tender to supply of the trucks. The cost of the trucks is unknown until the tender is awarded, however, LNG models are generally more expensive than the diesel models.

The first batch of LNG trucks is expected to be delivered before 2021 and it will replace the current diesel-powered trucks, that are used to transport containers between vessels berthed at the wharf side to the container yard at PSA's container terminals in Pasir Panjang.

PSA will also be building its own LNG kiosk in the port to prepare for the arrival of the LNG trucks. The company has been looking for alternatives to be more environmentally friendly.

The company is also looking at deploying fully-electric automated guided vehicles to replace the diesel trucks for the upcoming Tuas Port.
