Program objective
Corporate and government fleets account for over half of new vehicle sales in Australia (and are a significant source of second-hand vehicles). They often drive more kilometres and have higher expenses for fuel and maintenance.
When organisations electrify their fleets, they have a huge opportunity to reduce their emissions and save operating costs. It can also have a powerful impact on the national market, spurring demand for, and increasing supply of EVs, both new and used.
This program aims to:
- achieve the greatest level of emissions abatement at the lowest cost for the NSW Government
- support the development of a strong secondary market for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) when fleet managers resell their vehicles
- drive increased vehicle manufacturers’ supply to the NSW market
- promote a long-term transition to BEVs in the fleet sector
- promote take up of smart charging infrastructure on the network.
This program is administered by The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
