IMC Logistics will deploy 50 Tesla Semis

IMC Logistics, the largest marine drayage provider in the United States, announced plans to deploy 50 Tesla Semi battery-electric trucks in California.

During the 2026 Intermodal EXPO in Long Beach, IMC showcased a Tesla Semi to give attendees a closer look at the innovative technology that is joining its fleet.

The deployment will increase IMC’s zero-emission capacity and advance the company’s blended approach to sustainable drayage. IMC currently has both battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks as well as those that run on renewable diesel fuel operating in California. This allows the company to choose the best sustainable technology for each route and customer requirements.

IMC will receive a combination of standard-range and long-range Tesla Semi trucks. The standard-range models will support drayage operations in California, while the long-range trucks will operate between Southern California and inland destinations.

“We are focused on making sustainability attainable in day-to-day drayage operations,” said Jim Gillis, Pacific Region President at IMC Logistics. “That means taking a blended approach rather than relying on a single technology. The addition of 50 Tesla Semis strengthens that strategy as well as allows IMC to establish zero-emission service for long haul.
