ABOUT THIS EVENT
In June 2024, ANC launched Project Spark - an ambitious program to roll-out Australia’s largest fleet of last mile delivery EV’s. A year later, ANC have hit 100 electric vehicles on the road. A milestone worth celebrating!
Join us for a candid conversation about the complex economics, operational realities, and courageous leadership needed to transition to zero emissions logistics at scale.
Hear from one of ANC’s most sustainability focused customers – Who Gives a Crap – to get the retailer’s perspective on why shifting to a more sustainable delivery model is becoming increasingly important for brand health and customer satisfaction.
We'll also be joined by the Electric Vehicle Council who will share some of the great work they're doing to remove barriers to scaling EV adoption in the industry.
And connect with industry peers who share the same net zero ambitions and challenges as you.
This session will unpack what it really takes to close the green gap, and inspire you to take action today to deliver a more sustainable future for the next generation of Australians.
