With smarter, more intelligent cities focussed on net zero carbon emissions; comes smarter and more intelligent decarbonised options for transport.

Increasingly, infrastructure to support this new economy is not only critical to supporting growth, but is also essential to support viability of these new technologies for vehicle owners, fleet operators and long-haul operators looking to travel across our expansive nation.

Site selection for charging infrastructure becomes a crucial component to enable smarter transportation options as grid-connections become a critical enabler of electric vehicle charging.

Increasingly, fleet management is becoming more sophisticated with advanced metering and digitisation of solutions allowing businesses to monitor, manage and maintain efficient and ongoing operation of their fleet and infrastructure assets.

The benefits operators can now glean from these solutions is endless, ranging from location of vehicles to most popular charging locations, length of time vehicles are charged, as well as trends on general vehicle usage. The richness of data also allows better energy load management and charge scheduling.

While recent data shows it makes sense to go electric, new data insights are also showing the advantages of other attractive alternatives, such as hydrogen, particularly for heavy-duty, long-haul travel.
