This is an action item from Council's Emissions Reduction Plan.
Replacement schedule for existing fleet and plant and results of life cycle assessment will guide the rate at which lower or no emission vehicles replace existing ICE vehicles.
This involves switching diesel fuelled vehicles to electric or hydrogen alternatives and is an action from the Emissions Reduction Plan.
Abatement potential is 146 tCO2-e between 2030 and 2035.
Assuming replacement of ICE vehicles commences in 2030 and 35% of LCVs/heavy vehicles are electric by 2035 (Estimating an additional 5% every year from commencement).
Assets & Property organised a staff demo of a E-truck at Wodonga, hosted by Sea Electric.
Electric and hydrogen heavy vehicles are expected to reach parity with ICE options by mid-late 2020s.
Aligning with replacement schedule will mean ISC will not incur additional cost premiums.
Trialing LCVs and heavy vehicles is an item in Council's Emission Reduction Plan.
Trialing facilitates user buy-in and informs procurement of vehicles that are fit-for-purpose.
