Queensland's Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy
On 16 March 2022, the Queensland Government released Queensland's Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy 2022–2032 and the first Zero Emission Vehicle Action Plan 2022–2024.
We plan to accelerate Queensland toward a cleaner, greener transport future while making sure our energy network supports the transition to zero emission vehicles.
The 10-year strategy reaffirms our commitment to support Queensland's shift to zero net emissions by 2050.
The Strategy is vehicle type and fuel agnostic, maximising opportunities for Queenslanders to benefit from:
- improved air quality and health
- reduced transport costs
- increased skills and development opportunities
- opportunities for emerging industries
- more jobs to support an affordable and reliable energy sector.
The Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy 2022–2032 was developed in partnership between the Department of Transport and Main Roads and the former Department of Energy and Public Works.
Across 2021, extensive engagement with community, industry, interest groups and local and state government informed the strategy. This included 4,600 Queenslanders who contributed to the public survey, nearly 200 written submissions and direct engagement with over 100 key stakeholders and experts in targeted workshops.
