Local government transitioning to EVs – sharing the journey

Local government will be a key driver in the transition to greener fleets across Australia. Some 30 per cent of Australia’s vehicle fleet is operated by government agencies and local government will take an important role in demonstrating to the wider community the process and practical experiences of transitioning to greener fleets.

The conference brings Commonwealth, State and Local Government Fleet Managers together with vehicle manufacturers and suppliers of services such as telemetry, EV components, specialised vehicle fit-outs, safety and training.

International speakers from the United States, Norway, Sweden and New Zealand will share their experiences in additional to leading national speakers across topics vital to public sector fleets.

Key topics to be covered of relevance to fleet managers include:

• Green fleets for local government in cities and regions

• Charging networks for the public sector

• Case studies in local government transitioning to EVs

• EV commercial and heavy vehicles

• Telemetry and connected fleets

• Vehicle safety and training needs of green fleets

• Fire safety and EVs

The program features an optional ½ day workshop aimed specifically at local government fleet managers.

A wide range of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are exhibiting.

The annual conference, being staged in Melbourne 28 – 29 November 2023, is an initiative of the Public Sector Fleet Management Business Improvement Group.

The conference is being Hosted by VicFleet and will be staged at the Moonee Valley Racing Club.
