Programme pillar 04

Research & Innovation

Commissioned research into zero-emission technology, fuels and operating practice.

What it is

Commissioned and curated research into the technologies, fuels and operating practices coming at the sector next, so members aren't each running the same trial.

What it covers

  • Applied research into zero-emission vehicles, fuels and operating practice in ANZ conditions.
  • Evidence for the Council's guidance and its positions with government.
  • Findings shared across members, so duplication and re-work are avoided.

Why it matters

Operators are making capital decisions on vehicles and fuels that are still changing. Shared evidence lowers the cost of those decisions.
