"The pier has found big wins by making the whole truck-and-cargo flow less “wait your turn,” and more “keep it moving” with the addition of green lanes for ZEVs, tighter gate operations, and by pairing electrified equipment and its superior uptime with new, better rail and yard coordination."

This is basically PR from the truck company. Electric trucks allowed them to rejigger their procedures but there's nothing inherent in the trucks themselves that did that.

Electrek is a fanboy blog and will post anything that casts electric xyz in a good light. It's fun to read but yeah, it is what it is.

That's what it was sounding like; the "superior uptime" was confusing as I couldn't figure out what about ZEVs would be "uptime". So the electrification was an excuse to fix lots of procedural issues at the port that had developed over time.
