Ausgrid’s fleet of the future to drive EV adoption

Ausgrid is introducing its first ever heavy electric vehicles as part of its push to build knowledge, accelerate network capability and help enable EV adoption for the business fleets of the future.

Ausgrid CEO Marc England said the two new Foton EV Tippers and one SEA Electric Flatbed Truck would help Ausgrid learn how to better enable other businesses to electrify their fleets.

“As a key enabler of electrification, Ausgrid needs to understand what infrastructure is required to get many more EV trucks on the road,” Mr England said.

Ausgrid needs to facilitate this shift towards EV adoption and a net-zero future but do it in a way that is fully supported by the electricity grid. Ultimately, we want to ensure that any individual or company wanting to go electric, no matter how complex their fleet needs, is able to do so.
