Infra Dig – California Drayage with CBRE IM
Manage episode 402590882 series 3229415
Having taken a little too long to kick start the year’s podcast service, IJGlobal launches 2024 with an interesting fireside chat on an award-winning project led by CBRE Investment Management.
IJGlobal content director Angus Leslie Melville speaks with Toronto-based Robert Shaw, managing director with CBRE IM's private infrastructure business who is focused exclusively on the direct infrastructure investment programme.
In a 26-minute podcast, Robert takes listeners through Forum Mobility, a project in California that won an IJGlobal ESG Award on numerous levels and an IJInvestor Award for North American transport investment.
Robert takes the listener through Forum Mobility, explaining how it serves as “electrification as a service” supporting the drayage industry from Californian ports to distribution centres.
Forum Mobility was founded in 2021 and is focused on electrifying trucking of freight from ports, forming a $400 million JV in January 2023 with CBRE IM and minority shareholder Homecoming Capital to develop and operate charging depots and a fleet of electric trucks to service the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland.
