The Australian Logistics Council’s submission to the NSW Legislative Assembly Committee on Transport and Infrastructure’s Inquiry into Existing and Future Infrastructure Needed to Support Electric and Alternative Energy Source Vehicles highlights the critical importance of a freight-first approach to decarbonisation. Drawing on the practical experience of ALC members, the submission outlines targeted recommendations across infrastructure, regulation, land use, energy systems, and workforce development to enable a scalable transition to zero-emission freight transport. Key priorities include freight-specific charging and refuelling infrastructure, harmonised regulations, strategic protection of industrial land, and support for low-carbon liquid fuels and marine electrification. ALC urges the NSW Government to embed freight at the centre of its clean transport strategy and align with national frameworks to deliver a zero-emission freight future that is efficient, equitable, and investment-ready.
