Haul pass: Road freight’s tech frontier

The Australian freight and logistics industry keeps evolving toward low- and zero-emission technologies with new charging hubs to aid fleet electrification in parallel with the local development of biofuels, green hydrogen and the related infrastructure. 

Government investment in low-carbon biofuels

As part of a broader push toward sustainable transport, Australia is making strides in low-carbon biofuel development, with the Federal Government announcing a $1.1 billion investment to reduce transport emissions. 

The 10-year Cleaner Fuels Program aims to accelerate the production of alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels in sectors such as aviation, shipping, and heavy transport. 

It also aims to attract private funding for domestic production of low-carbon fuels from agricultural feedstocks such as canola, sorghum, and waste.
