WattEV, a provider of zero-emission transport services, has announced a new initiative called Brands That Care. The campaign begins with a partnership with MGA Entertainment, a toy manufacturer known for brands such as L.O.L. Surprise!, MGA’s Miniverse, and Little Tikes.
Under the agreement, WattEV will serve as the exclusive zero-emission freight transporter for MGA’s products imported through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The company recently announced an expansion of its fleet to 180 trucks at the ACT Expo industry conference.
WattEV CEO Salim Youssefzadeh said: “Since opening our Port of Long Beach facility in July 2023, WattEV trucks have transported more than 2,500 containers to MGA’s distribution centre in Hesperia, CA, accumulating over 500,000 miles of zero-emission drayage delivery. This has saved 1,200 tons of co2 emissions.”
Isaac Larian, Founder and CEO of MGA Entertainment, commented: “We make toys that children and adults alike have loved for more than 45 years. We are proud to partner with WattEV as our exclusive zero-emission freight transporter in California to help keep our environment clean for future generations.”
Youssefzadeh added: “WattEV is proud to be a strategic partner with MGA and supports its commitment to sustainability. Operating our electric trucks from the ports to the Inland Empire demonstrates the sustainability and economic viability of zero-emission freight transport.”
