https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy/2026/04/11/b-doubling-down-electric-trucks
While the Coalition claims electric trucks are not capable of transporting heavy freight, overseas usage and current trials in Australia show they far outperform diesel on both overall cost and efficiency. By Mike Seccombe.
Bridget McKenzie, the National Party’s leader in the Senate, was contemptuous.
During an urgency motion on March 30 about the government’s response to the global fuel crisis, she fired up over suggestions that Australia should look at electrifying the country’s heavy vehicle fleet.
“To hear the ridiculous contributions from the Labor Party senators, who somehow think you can hook up a B-double full of cattle, coming down from Rockhampton to Brisbane, and actually use an electric truck? Seriously?”
McKenzie, who is also the Coalition’s spokesperson for transport, continued: “I’m all for electric where it makes sense; that’s usually in suburbs and capital cities, where you can plug it in at night.”
It is, however, indeed possible to move cattle, or steel, toilet paper and many other things, on a giant semi with an electric prime mover at the front, and to do it more cheaply and quickly than with diesel. It’s already happening in much of the rest of the world – and now, somewhat belatedly, in this country.
The EV revolution is moving on from light to heavy vehicles, and doing so at an astonishing pace.
The 2025 Global EV Outlook report from the International Energy Agency recorded an 80 per cent increase in electric truck sales globally in 2024. There’s been an almost six-fold increase in the number of available models, to more than 400, since 2020.
More recent data, published by CV World, a Chinese website specialising in the commercial vehicle market, is even more startling. Total registrations of what it called “new energy vehicles” – mostly electric, with a much smaller number of hydrogen trucks – was up 182 per cent year on year in China in 2025.
More than 45,000 heavy-duty electric trucks were registered – 54 per cent of total registrations – in just the month of December.
Advances in batteries and charging infrastructure are catalysts. New heavy-duty electric trucks can travel 400-500 kilometres on a single charge, making them suitable for many regional freight routes and long-distance corridors.
A new generation of megawatt charging infrastructure makes it possible for an electric semi to charge from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in less than 30 minutes.
Had McKenzie even paid attention to what was happening outside the Parliament House door that Monday, she might have avoided embarrassment.
The Smart Energy Council had arranged, on the lawns at the front of the house, a display of several heavy electric trucks. They were there at 7am, ahead of a gathering of some 300 industry, government, energy and infrastructure representatives in Parliament’s Great Hall for the Freight Forward 2026 summit on commercial vehicle decarbonisation.
McKenzie says she was not invited; the organisers say the event on the front lawn was open to anyone to attend. Had she fronted up, she might have learnt a lot.
One of those trucks displayed on the parliament lawns was a Chinese-made, B-double rated, Windrose prime mover. Over about the past six months, Windrose and Australian company New Energy Transport have engaged in a series of trials and demonstrations of the capabilities of electrics.
Last October the truck completed a 480-kilometre round trip from Picton, south of Sydney, to Beresfield in the Hunter region on a single charge, with a load of feed provided by Australia’s largest poultry transport, logistics and engineering services provider, Multiquip.
The person charged by Multiquip with ensuring the truck met all relevant laws and regulations – which it did – was the company’s national compliance manager, David Muir.
Muir came to the trial, he says, with no prior experience of the type of truck, nor preconceptions about the relative merits of electric versus diesel.
He went away impressed, particularly with its power. The Windrose produces 1400 horsepower – compared with 500 to 700 from a typical diesel – which enables it to maintain speed, even up steep gradients.
Muir says he won’t repeat exactly what other truck drivers said over the two-way “when it was flying past them, up Mount White”. The gist of it was, they were impressed.
Because the Windrose was able to sit at the speed limit the whole way, the trip was also 40 minutes faster than it would have been under diesel power.
Moreover, the fuel cost was a fraction of the diesel alternative, says Daniel Bleakley, co-founder and co-chief executive of New Energy Transport.
“We used 600 kilowatt hours. At 15 cents wholesale renewable energy price, that would have cost about $50 up and back for a 36-tonne combination.
“That trip normally costs around $300 in diesel, at prewar prices,” he says.
Bleakley says a recent delivery from Sydney to Canberra with a load of toilet paper from Who Gives a Crap cost about 84 per cent less than the equivalent diesel run, based on current prices.
“Even on pre-Iran war, pre-oil crisis prices, we estimate that that run would have still been 70 per cent cheaper on energy cost alone.”
In another trial, covering one of the steepest major trucking routes in the country, says Bleakley, “this particular truck, the Windrose, hauled 68 tonnes of steel from BlueScope Steelworks in Port Kembla, up Mount Ousley, passing diesel trucks like they weren’t even moving.
“It was able to hold the speed limit all the way into Sydney and back again. And it could do two of those loops on one charge.”
In contradiction of those who claim electric trucks are unsuited to long-haul operation – including Chris Uhlmann, who asserted in The Australian just last week that the technology to replace diesel on major freight routes “does not exist” – Bleakley says the economics of electric trucks actually get better with heavier loads and longer distances.
“The more energy that a trucking operation is consuming, the bigger the energy cost as a proportion of the total cost stack … the bigger the advantage [over diesel],” he says.
It’s a matter of capital costs versus operating costs, Bleakley says. “The existing diesel road freight industry is very low capex [capital expenditure], high opex [operating expenditure]. So you might buy a new truck for $250,000. You then run it up and down the Hume Highway doing 200,000 kilometres a year, and you’ll spend about $2 million on diesel over 10 years.
“Electric trucking is the opposite. It’s high capex, low opex. The trucks are more expensive up front [the Windrose costs $450,000], and you have to pay for charging infrastructure, but the benefits on the other side, on the opex side, are so huge that the overall cost, we believe, is now lower than diesel.”
It was on the basis of that calculation, made before the Iran war sent diesel fuel costs skyrocketing, that New Energy Transport was set up, as Australia’s “first zero emissions, fully electric trucking company”.
It is still tiny compared with what is happening overseas.
It will occupy a site between Sydney and Wollongong, near the intersection of Picton Road and the Hume Highway, chosen on the basis of the large volume of truck traffic.
“There’s around 5000 heavy trucks on Picton Road every day going down and back to the Illawarra,” says Bleakley. “And there’s around 4000 trucks on the Hume Highway every day.
“We expect to start construction in Q4 this year, and we expect to be operational at the end of 2027,” he says.
“The first stage will be able to support 50 electric, heavy prime movers in continuous operation. And stage two will support 150 to 200 trucks.
“In parallel, we are now working towards getting 20 of these trucks up and running in the next few months. We have a rapid deployment plan emerging right now in response to the diesel crisis.”
The depot will generate 10 to 20 per cent of its power from its own solar panels, and buy the rest from other renewable sources. It will also have a 10-megawatt battery, enabling the company to draw electricity when it is cheapest in the middle of the day, and store it for later.
Small beginnings, but, says Bleakley, the future possibilities are enormous.
Australia is more dependent on diesel-fuelled road transport than any other country, except the United States. Even as emissions from other sectors of the economy, notably electricity generation, have declined, transport emissions have remained high. Road freight is a large part of the problem.
“Articulated trucks make up around 3 per cent of all commercial vehicles in Australia, but they account for around 80 per cent of the tonne-kilometres in freight movement,” says Bleakley. “So they are doing an enormous amount of work and burning an enormous amount of diesel.”
As a consequence of the Middle East war, diesel is in short supply, very expensive, and likely to remain so for months, maybe years, to come.
In recognition of this, the federal government on Thursday announced support for the New Energy Transport project under its new Investor Front Door program.
A joint statement from the treasurer and industry and transport ministers said the government “will provide project developers with a dedicated engagement manager to help navigate the regulatory requirements, obtain regulatory decisions and identify existing appropriate government financing options.”
It was thin on details, but in essence, it will grease the regulatory wheels at all levels of government. Bridget McKenzie was right about one thing: there are issues to do with the weight of electrics and the strain they put on existing infrastructure.
Still, it showed the Labor government is cognisant of the need to find alternatives to Australia’s diesel-dependent heavy transport sector. Which is more than can be said for the Coalition parties, whose proposed solution to the global fuel crisis was summarised by Opposition Leader Angus Taylor in his address to the nation last week: “We must dig, and we must drill.”
National Party leader Matt Canavan advocated making oil from coal.
As experts such as Climate Energy Finance director Tim Buckley, along with independent MP Monique Ryan, pointed out in response, such technology has previously only been employed by Nazi Germany and South Africa, in desperate response to sanctions. It is inordinately expensive to do and is very emissions intensive.
But what of the suggestion of mining and refining more oil?
The first problem, says Greg Bourne, of the Climate Council, is that Australia does not have much in the way of proven oil reserves. He notes that when Canavan was the resources minister in the previous Coalition government, he issued exploration permits in the Great Australian Bight. Several oil majors took them up, then handed them back, because they were not viable.

Hi @AdminKirsty just to let you know, a few moments ago i sent a Follow Request from the latest Friendica account i created ~5 weeks ago, but which til now i had avoided adding my contacts, whilst i continue testing it for its sadly pisspoor hashtags-fetching capability. Now i wanna begin adding a few contacts manually & keep testing. fyi & ta.

https://www.betootaadvocate.com/local-woman-politely-reading-on-train-is-getting-through-the-most-filthy-smut-right-now/
On Friday morning at 8:15am, local Betoota woman, Jennifer Ray was unassumingly sitting next to fellow passengers on their commute to work.
However, while her face betrayed no sign of emotion, the local sicko was reportedly churning through some fantasy novel filled smut.
The sexually explicit book which was cleverly disguised as, one could only guess, a fantasy novel, was a popular novel amongst women in their mid twenties to late thirties.
The romantacy novel grew in popularity on booktok and is now a common review for women’s book clubs around Betoota.
Jennifer, who has tried to stay off her phone whilst on her morning commute, has turned to alternative ways to avoid doom scrolling before work.
“I used to scroll and that’s really bad to do so early in the morning, at least, that’s what a tik tok told me.”
“So I’ve started reading and honestly, the way they write these sex scenes it just locks you right in, you start to forget it’s a woman having sex with a dragon” Jennifer told our reporter.
This certain genre of literature usually uses book covers with fantasy paraphernalia such as swords, shields, candles and maybe the odd horse to disguise the graphic sexual nature of the novel.
“To the naked eye it looked like I was reading another rip off of Lord of the Rings but I was really in fact reading about a goblin giving head to a fairy in an enchanted castle, gripping stuff” Jennifer shared with The Advocate.

@skedarwarrior @cstross um... no. i'm really unsure from where you're getting your info, but it's just not right.
before i go any further, i'd like to clarify this point, to avoid any doubt. i'm not trying to argue with you, but instead am genuinely trying to help you understand, given you expressed some interest in the topic by joining the thread.
that said, atm i'm unsure if you do want to learn more from me or not, so rather than waste my time writing more info that you might not want, pls let me know your preference. if you've had enough, no worries. if you would like to understand the mistakes in your last post, let me know & i'll happily explain more.

@abc_bot good on these ladies! 💜️ that's what empathy, insight, & unconditional love looks like
otoh, my... someone who i thought loved me... reacted initially with surprise, then shock, then disgust, then anger, then... complete rejection. along that path were statements that i made her feel sick, & that i might be a paedophile & she'd report me to the cops if i'd done something to our kids 😲 🤯
i love it that there really are happy loving stories out there. they're just hard for me to endure, which i 'spose is selfishness & meanness by me, albeit unintended
go well, Kate and Marti 💃️💃️

@skedarwarrior it's ok, & thank you for admitting that. just fwiw, fyi, given you acknowledged unfamiliarity in this area, the reason i reacted with some vehemence is that the form of words you used happen to be a common line of attack wielded by despicable RWNJ christofascists as part of their non-stop war against peeps like me. they assert the lie that gender & sex are identical, that therefore by definition there is no such thing as a trans-peep, & that any who claim otherwise are merely making a choice, a "lifestyle-choice", analogous to choosing to eat an apple today or go to the beach tomorrow, a free-will choice. they deny [based on zero knowledge but maximum hatred] that we deserve any rights or protection, coz, again, they assert dishonestly that we are not simply just "us", like a left-hander is simply just being themselves, but instead that we simply make a fatuous disingenuous choice. ergo, many trans peeps react rather adversely when we encounter anyone talking about "choice", even if as in your case it was not done maliciously, coz we fear the commencement of yet another deranged RWNJ attack. fyi. @cstross

@skedarwarrior this is such an invalid & naive concept
If people want to be trans
we "chose" to have been born this way in the same way that lefthanders & redheads & green-eyeds "chose" those birth characteristics.

@jorge when i stumbled across #distrobox some years ago it instantly gripped my imagination as arguably one of the most transformational new #Linux tools in my own Linux lifetime [i've only been a #penguinista since 2014, so remain merely a keen noob]. it's just a brilliant project 💜️

it amuses me, quite a lot, how comparatively often it happens when some peep requests to Follow me, so i check out their profile & posting history, & if i thus form a view they might not be entirely monstrous 🫢️ i approve them. then, some days go by, & i sometimes see some of said peeps in various timelines... i then notice they've hitherto stopped Following me. what goes thru the minds of these peeps? don't they check out my profile & posts prior to requesting the Follow, to avoid nasty surprises later? how can they just go in blind, & only afterwards then realise just wot a mega loony whingeing weirdarse i be? 🤯️🤪️🤷♀️️😂️
