Propane-powered equipment checks all those boxes,” said Tucker Perkins, president and CEO of PERC. “Port operators need equipment that gets the job done cost-effectively while meeting emissions regulations. Funded by the propane industry, the Propane Education and Research Council implements safety and training programs, conducts research and invests in technology development with leading equipment manufacturers to expand adoption of propane as a clean, American-made energy source. TICO and PSI displayed the UPS propane tractor in conjunction with the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), which was located next to TICO during the Expo. “In coupling our propane and gasoline solutions with TICO’s applications, we have many opportunities to serve ports that want to replace diesel-powered equipment with cleaner fuels.” “TICO and PSI have an excellent collaboration to provide the marketplace with products that meet demands, whether through gasoline or alternative fuels,” PSI CEO John Miller said. The engine also powers medium-duty bus and truck applications. PSI’s emissions-certified 8.8-liter engines provide uncompromised power, performance, fuel efficiency and fuel flexibility to TICO and other OEMs. Fleet customers including UPS run numerous TICO Pro-Spotters with PSI’s 8.8L CNG and LPG engines in their facilities nationwide. TICO Pro-Spotter terminal tractors are widely used in distribution centers, rail terminals and ports to move semi-trailers and shipping containers. Introduced at a previous ACT Expo, the Pro-Spotter terminal tractor was the first major collaboration between PSI and TICO to integrate custom alternative-fuel engines into TICO’s powertrain platform options. TICO, a pioneer in fleet services, terminal services, and terminal tractor manufacturing, displayed a UPS terminal tractor powered by PSI’s 8.8-liter on-road propane engine. Gregory Poole Lift Systems is a proud dealer for Tico, manufacturer of some of the best yard spotters on the market today. PSI’s partnership with TICO Manufacturing was front and center during the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo April 24-26 in the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, Calif. A high-quality yard spotter or terminal tractor is the backbone of any shipping yard operation.
