  There are many different technologies that are being used to help combat climate change and support a sustainable world within key sectors such as energy, transport, construction, industry and buildings management. The implementation of these technologies will support Australia’s clean and green economy and our 2050 target of net zero emissions.

  The environmental and economic benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) is well known, but there are barriers to making EVs the standard. Currently, the main barriers to EV uptake are cost, range anxiety (only being able to travel a certain distance before needing to charge) and supply. There are also only a small number of heavy electric vehicle brands here in Australia, posing another challenge to transitioning heavy vehicle fleets to EVs.
