Regional freight's road to zero.

ZeroEmi takes regional transport operators from diesel to zero emissions — the grants, the finance, the software, the charging. One platform for the whole journey, whatever size your fleet.

What we do

One platform. Two engines.

ZeroEmi aggregates the regional freight industry — diesel fleets included — and builds the charging infrastructure their transition needs. Each engine makes the other stronger.

Engine 01 · The Operator Platform

Aggregate the industry. Run the journey.

We bring regional operators onto one platform — solving their daily problems while they're still diesel, then running their staged transition to zero emissions end-to-end.

  • Operations software that earns its keep from day one — diesel or electric
  • The five-stage journey: baseline → optimise → roadmap → switch → operate electric
  • Grants, asset finance and procurement handled through a licensed brokerage
  • Carbon reporting that wins the freight contracts diesel can't
Engine 02 · Corridor Charging Infrastructure

Build the network regional highways are missing.

Open-access heavy-vehicle charging developed on regional corridors — starting at the Sydney–Brisbane midpoint, Port Macquarie — where the majors aren't building this decade.

  • 400kW+ CCS2, megawatt-ready, battery-buffered and solar-integrated
  • Developed the disciplined way: demand, grid and co-funding secured before construction
  • Founding-member pricing for platform operators, for the life of the network
  • Aligned with ARENA and NSW fuel-security priorities
🔁

Every operator on the platform strengthens the demand case for charging. Every charger built makes the platform more valuable to join. That's the flywheel — and the register is where it starts.

Why ZeroEmi exists

The transition is coming. Regional freight isn't ready.

Four national problems converge on the regional highways where Australia's freight actually moves.

01 · FUEL SECURITY

Imported diesel dependency

Australia imports roughly 16 billion litres of diesel a year to move freight — foreign-supplied and price-volatile. Electric freight runs on Australian wind and sun.

02 · EMISSIONS

Small fleet, outsized footprint

Trucks and buses are 3% of NSW road vehicles but produce 26% of road transport emissions. No net-zero plan works without electric freight.

03 · COMMUNITIES

Highway towns breathe it

Diesel freight rolls through Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey and Taree every day. Electric means cleaner air and quieter streets on the corridor.

04 · THE GAP

No charging where it's needed

Zero heavy-vehicle charging exists between Newcastle and Coffs Harbour. ARENA projects Australia needs up to 165 freight charging hubs.

The transition is coming either way. The question is whether regional operators are carried along — or left behind while the majors electrify the cities. ZeroEmi exists so nobody's left behind.

Engine 01 · The Operator Platform

From diesel to zero. One journey, five stages.

Wherever your fleet is today — all diesel, first EV, or fully committed — you join at your stage and we run the rest with you. Nobody figures it out alone.

Free · No obligation

Know exactly where you stand.

Your fleet snapshot: routes, duty cycles, fuel spend, compliance load. The honest starting line — before anyone talks about trucks.

  • Fleet & route baseline on your actual operations
  • Fuel and maintenance cost picture
  • Grant eligibility check while NSW funding is open
  • A place on the Founding Fleet register
Software + service

We fix your daily grind first — while you're still diesel.

Job-to-invoice flow, compliance paperwork, fuel cost visibility. You don't need an electric truck to benefit from ZeroEmi.

  • Dispatch-to-invoice in one flow
  • Compliance & fatigue paperwork handled
  • Fuel and cost visibility per truck, per run
  • Built for two-truck operators and forty-truck fleets alike
Paid roadmap

The honest transition plan.

Which routes pencil electric today, which trucks, which grants, what year each vehicle flips — and which should stay diesel for now. Modelled on your actual runs, not brochures.

  • Per-route TCO modelling with real 2026 numbers
  • Vehicle-by-vehicle flip schedule
  • Full grant & finance stack mapped
  • Honest calls — including "not yet"
Execution

We do the paperwork. You approve.

Grants lodged, finance arranged through a licensed brokerage, vehicles procured, depot charging installed. Every transaction handled end-to-end.

  • NSW grants — up to $50k per truck, $60k per charger port
  • Asset finance structured & settled
  • Vehicle procurement & delivery coordination
  • Depot charging designed and installed
Electric operations

Run electric. Prove it. Win with it.

Charging cost management, range planning, and auditable carbon reporting per consignment — the credential that wins the freight contracts diesel can't.

  • Charging & energy cost optimisation
  • Range-aware route planning
  • Per-consignment carbon reporting your customer's auditor accepts
  • Priority access at ZeroEmi corridor charging

Every stage pays for itself. No stage requires the next.

For transport operators

Built for the operators the majors overlook.

The big charging networks chase the big national fleets. ZeroEmi is built for regional Australia — the two-truck owner-driver and the forty-truck line-hauler alike.

💰

No upfront-cost shock

NSW grants up to $50,000 per truck and $60,000 per charger, applied for by us, stacked with finance we arrange through a licensed brokerage.

⚙️

Better business before better trucks

We fix your daily operations first. Software that earns its keep while your fleet is still diesel.

📉

Lower cost per kilometre

Our modelled corridor lane shows an electric truck saving ~$103,000 over five years — energy roughly half the cost, maintenance 40–60% lower.

🧭

The honest roadmap

We'll tell you which trucks should flip now — and which should stay diesel. Advisers who oversell don't last where everyone knows everyone.

📊

Win the contracts diesel can't

Auditable carbon reporting per consignment — the credential that wins supermarket, council and corporate freight under Scope 3 pressure.

Powered by ZeroEmi

Your brand stays the hero.

ZeroEmi isn't a freight company and never will be — we don't compete with the operators we serve. Your name on the truck, your customers, your business. We're the rails underneath: the software, the finance, the charging, the transition.

The only place you'll see us is a small badge that tells your customers something powerful — this freight is going zero-emission.

Your brand. Our rails. Zero emissions.

The difference, animated

One lane. Two futures.

The same contracted freight lane — Port Macquarie to Newcastle and back, 490 km a day. Watch what each truck leaves behind. Figures run live from our lane model: 24L/100km diesel vs electric, 2.68 kg CO₂ per litre.

Every corridor truck on the journey avoids ~77 tonnes of CO₂e a year — the annual work of roughly 3,500 trees — and brings quieter streets and cleaner air to every town it passes through. Zero tailpipe emissions on day one; near-zero lifecycle emissions when charged from renewables — which is exactly how our charging is designed.

Engine 02 · Corridor Charging

The charging network regional corridors are missing.

The majors are electrifying metro depots and capital-city routes. Regional highways — where Australia's freight actually moves — are the gap. ZeroEmi is developing open-access heavy-vehicle charging on regional corridors, starting at the Sydney–Brisbane midpoint: Port Macquarie. The operators on our platform aren't a forecast; they're the customers the network is built for.

SYDNEY405 km
BRISBANE530 km
HEAVY EV CHARGING0 km*
*Nothing between Newcastle and Coffs Harbour

Site

Oxley / Pacific Highway interchange precinct — the natural Sydney–Brisbane midpoint, on the corridor's only stretch with no heavy charging between Newcastle and Coffs Harbour.

Design

400kW+ CCS2, megawatt-ready. Battery-buffered to minimise grid works, solar-integrated, open access with founding-member pricing.

Discipline

Built against demand, not hope. Committed fleets, grid solution, and government co-funding — all three gates met before a dollar of construction.
