Toyota, STAX Engineering enter five-year emissions capture, control deal

STAX Engineering has closed a five-year deal with Toyota Motor North America, Inc. to service all vessels visiting the Toyota Berth in the Port of Long Beach. Beginning in 2025 to coincide with new California Air Resources Board standards, STAX will become the first and only emissions control provider to service roll-on/roll-off vessels in the state of California. The Toyota Long Beach Vehicle Distribution Center imports about 200,000 vehicles each year on ro-ro vessels. STAX’s patented, flexible exhaust capture system easily attaches to all vessel classes without modification to remove 99% of emitted particulate matter and 95% of emitted oxides of nitrogen. Over the lifetime of this new agreement with Toyota, STAX estimated the service will account for approximately 3,700 hours and more than 47 tons of emissions controlled.
