Welcome to the latest issue of EVs and Beyond
In the latest issue of EVs and Beyond, we delve into the Government’s new $27.7 million Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund (LEHVF).
The fund, administered by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), aims to reduce emissions in the road freight sector by supporting the adoption of clean technologies in heavy vehicles.
We hear from transport industry leaders about the scheme and learn why they believe it is an important step towards pushing the sector to adopt a low-emissions model.
However, they say additional policy changes and investments are still required.
We also explore the range of trucks and suppliers that have been approved under the scheme so far.
From light-duty battery electric commercial vehicles to heavy-duty EVs, there is a variety of options for potential customers to consider.
In this issue, we also investigate a selection of options for fleet customers looking to purchase an electric van. Read on to see how the model range compares.
Additionally, BYD has introduced its Shark ute at a competitive price of $69,990, positioning it as an interesting option in the market.
We take the groundbreaking vehicle for a spin and ask whether it might prompt consumers to switch from more mainstream competitors.
Finally, we review LDV’s eDeliver 3 and assess whether the compact electric van remains a compelling choice since its launch in 2020.
