"A new report published by business consultancy Mov3ment has revealed that the
total cost of ownership for light urban delivery trucks is already close to
diesel, even without subsidies.
Mov3ment, a Brisbane based business consultancy, last week published what it
believes to be a “first-of-its-kind resource” to help Australian fleet
operators, suppliers, and policymakers, navigate the electric truck market.
The
Electric Truck Report – produced in partnership with charging company Jet
Charge and non-profit A2EP – provides a comprehensive but easily digestible
analysis of model availability, suitability, financial viability, and charging
considerations.
An analysis of total cost of ownership (TCO) for six example truck applications
– including urban delivery, supermarket home delivery and distribution,
regional, and waste collection – is simplified by an easy-to-use viability
matrix.
For example, and representing one of the key findings from the report, light
duty trucks and vans used for urban delivery and supermarket home delivery have
come down in price enough that they are beginning to be competitive with diesel
alternatives."
