The rollout of Amazon's big rigs at the L.A. and Long Beach port complex is part of a shift to zero out pollution from trucking in California.

You've probably seen those cute blue, circle-eyed electric Amazon delivery trucks around your neighborhood. Now you'll be passing by electric Amazon big rigs on the highway. The world's dominant online retailer is rolling out 50 all-electric big rigs in Southern California, eight of them out of the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

The batteries in the big rig tractors, manufactured by Volvo, can travel up to 275 miles before a recharge, 'with zero tailpipe emissions,' Amazon said. The trucks will haul shipping containers from the ports to the Amazon freight center in Sante Fe Springs, where containers will be unloaded and the goods shipped to distribution centers and airports, and finally to delivery stations, where vans load up on packages for homes and businesses.
