"The federal government says it is looking to “active transport” such as
bicycles and also electric trucks as it considers new means to offset the
growth of petrol and diesel SUV sales that threaten to undermine progress in
electric cars. But far how will it go?
The government’s
Transport and Infrastructure Net Zero Consultation Roadmap
released this week highlights potential decarbonisation pathways for the
transport sector.
“If we do not act, transport emissions are on track to be the largest source of
greenhouse gas emissions in Australia by 2030, with almost 60% of these
emissions coming from the light vehicle sector,” transport minister Catherine
King and climate and energy minister Chris Bowen write in the introduction.
“A failure to act would also be a missed opportunity to increase the
productivity and resilience of our transport sector, the infrastructure which
it underpins and the job creation which will come from the sector’s Net Zero
transition.”"
