In the race to net-zero, transport is one of the hardest to abate sectors. The Transport sector makes up 19% of Australia’s emissions and will come under increasing pressure to decarbonise over the next 10 years.
Australia’s heavy vehicle fleet is ageing.
According to a recent Austroads report, the heavy vehicle fleet is now more than 15 years old, which has a huge influence on heavy vehicle emissions and fuel consumption.
Demand for electric and hybrid vehicles has increased rapidly, but for heavy vehicles, swapping a 600-horsepower diesel tractor unit for an EV isn’t all that easy yet. So what’s the alternative?
When it comes to reducing emissions, there is no room for a one size fits all mentality within the transport sector.
Find out what options are available now for heavy and mixed fleets to reduce emissions.
