Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that one-third of the heavy vehicles operating out of Team Global Express’ Western Sydney facility will be electric.
Mr Albanese described this as a “great day” and a “game changer”.
“That’s good for this company because it drives down emissions, it drives down their costs,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Thursday.
“Good for the environment in reducing our emissions.
“We know that around about over 20 per cent of Australia’s emissions are due to the transport sector.
“This transformation together with, of course, the partnership with ARENA, and the parentship with Volvo, is a great example of my government working with the private sector, with the business community to assist the economy, to assist them but also to assist our objective of heading towards net zero.”

Albo should have a look at Sydney's weather forecast for the next week, rain everyday. Looks like those trucks are going to be charged by good old reliable coal fired power stations.
Precisely why we need nuclear power here in Australia
Elma Fudd and the last Dodo.
Always with the padded shoulder gaiviz vests 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ban all non EV trucks!
Haha, only an adult with Down syndrome would be smart enough to by these…
Although there are opponents, EVs are an investment in the future.
Nope. Sucker.
Those trucks will need small nuclear reactors to run them thats how mich power will be needed for 50+ trucks
Look at the two floggers..😊
sdgs was created by US. Obama also made a promise at the United Nations nine years ago. Australia, which is a member of the EU, would also have agreed.
I predict this will be a complete waste of time, money and resources and they will have to be replaced with real trucks
I can just imagine the fire that an electronic truck will do, burn for days, you can only drive them around the city, what about the long haul, Sydney to Darwin
Are they effective?
Apparently Seargant Schultz “ knows nuzzing”
So so many lies….even lefties kniw these are blatant lies, they just dont care, heh
The flying autonomous hydroelectric cars that have subscription and no ownership is the end game
Government in 2071 guide book free online by world government summit worth the read
I literally am getting to the point of just loathing for fucin politicians
And I'm in the what's left of what was the USA
I'm calling BS on the trucks being charged solely by roof mounted solar panels. (unless the building has REALLY REALLY REALLY wide awnings!)
Range??
Australia emits 1% of global emissions.
Lmao.
You are a moron Albanese.
A right proper goose.
Absolute & utter drivel…
The only win win win win proposition is for this ALP government to get back into opposition ASAP !!
Game changer alright 🤣🤣nothing will ever get anywhere reliably by road anymore
Bwussssch Sssspwingsssstein
With COVID, the Australian people were on the same page, nobody wanted to get infected with COVID, the government and MSM way overcooked for all it's worth and loved every minute of it even Palaszczuk was laughing and bragging in Parliament about how taking off her musk would get her heaps of views on social media and the opposition was jealous, it just ended up being a power grab and an ego trip by vile and corrupt politicians and the people woke up and will never look at the government the same way ever again, the Australian people are not on the same page with electric vehicles.
How is charging up a truck with coal power lowering emissions? Why should emissions be lowered? what nation will build these trucks? what nation will the batteries be sourced from? How much dough are taxpayers putting in to it? If Chinese made will data go back to China like with konnech electoral software? How much more exponential pressure will these electric trucks put on the grid?
The thing about Labor all they do is bullshit from Bob Hawk promising no child will live in poverty in 30 years to Steve Miles promising every homeless person is guaranteed accommodation days away from a byelection in a state election cycle.
The same thing is happening in LA they give hotel accommodation to the homeless, this has not stopped homelessness, what it does do is drive up insurance rates for hotels.

Want is the one thing that affects transport? Weight
Simply put the more you Weight the less you carry.
What the next thing that affects transport? time
How far can a electric truck go before it needs to recharge .
How long will that take?
After you take away the spin What are you left with BS
How long does it take to charge these trucks to full? How far can the trucks drive for?
Hmmm how much did these EV trucks cost .????
Insanity, did he not see the electric truck catch fire in Melbourne recently?
So now these clowns want to ban diesel trucks. It's a game changer all right, now we are 100% screwed.
Keep warm this winter with a flammable Tesla
Albanese spruiking bullshit again. This bloke is a born liar. What is the environmental damage of just one EV Albanese? Does this fool know that EV actually stands for Environmental Vandalism.
Lies based on lies
Oh how laughable. These things are not being pursued in Europe and US as they have been found to be unreliable and unable to haul loads. Charging times are far more than cars…It s a joke. And the best people to sell such a joke is of ousre our mates, dumb and dumber!
I can't even look at this fool without contempt..
My husband has one electric truck at his workshop and they park it as far away from workshop as they can to reduce risk of fire and it has an internal thermal fan that runs for 4 hrs trying to cool down the battery after it comes back before they work on it. They also had to install an extra high pressure fire hydrant in accordance with the NSW fire code. Sounds very efficient and cost savings to me.
Old mate behind him looks like he sold his soul.👹👹👹gotta love albos textbook sniveling voice tone. Quite endearing.🤦♀️
Bowen knows he's toast.
What a clown show.
Albanese is right, it most certainly is a "game changer". Never before has the Federal Government (meaning taxpayers) gifted a private profit making company 60 trucks at an average cost of $335,000 per truck to operate for an 18 month 'trial'.
It's painfully clear who is bearing all the risk from this bit of pointless woke virtue signaling.
6 tonne battery packs lol, a company in USA wanted a plan from the government to draw enough power to charge 30 trucks and they laughed and said that would be more draw the the states baseline load fucken lovers
I wonder what happens if you are in a electric car and you get caught in a flood and water gets in the electrics is car any good or are you going to be zapped and fryed like a potato chip
dumb and dumber
Here we have dumb and dumber,,,Mr Magoo and Bowen,,,, waffle and BS!!
Albo is the prime minister but doesn't get involved in the GST carv up unless it suites him and his greedy interests,,, Albo won't take any money off Western Australia's GST because he needs their votes for the next election heavan forbid if he gets another term,,,😂😢
Christine Holgate happens to be the CEO of this trucking company, I guess it's time for gold watches all around now that taxpayers are funding their new EV truck fleet.
What about the emissions coming out of Albanese's mouth ?
