Red Hook Terminals
To achieve its emission reduction goals, Red Hook Terminals purchased 10 BYD 8Y electric yard tractors, and in so doing became the largest fleet of heavy-duty electric trucks operating on the east coast. As the tractors were getting ready to deploy at Red Hook’s intermodal yard in Port Newark, New Jersey, Red Hook partnered with bp pulse for charge management services to effectively optimize the charging of their fleet.

A new venture
bp pulse – a solution to fluctuating costs
Unfamiliar with managing electricity as a fuel, Red Hook realized the need for managed charging. In order to solve for fluctuating utility charging rates – which can shift dramatically hour-by-hour – Red Hook sought out bp pulse. Our omega software prioritizes low-cost energy, nearly eliminating the uncertainty that comes from highly variable energy expenses.
As of March 2022, Red Hook’s first full quarter of operating performance showed an incredible 81% reduction in fuel costs and a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
A seamless transition
New technologies, existing infrastructure
bp pulse also offers:
- Site controller: utilizing integrated revenue-grade meters for real-time visibility of EV charging depot energy usage
- Transaction-based control mechanism: keeping peak demand and coincident loads from managed EV chargers below the designated peak power thresholds
