The Victorian Transport Association (VTA) and Prime Creative Media have announced a significant transport industry partnership.
The VTA’s Alternative Fuel Summit will officially feature at MegaTrans 2026 later this year.
The summit, to be held on day two of the event (17 September) will feature expert speakers, case studies and panel discussions focused on alternative fuels including electric, hydrogen, biofuels and hybrid solutions, with an emphasis on readiness, infrastructure and commercial viability.
VTA CEO, Peter Anderson, said the association is thrilled to partner with MegaTrans to elevate the Alternative Fuel Summit and bring the industry’s decarbonisation conversations to a significantly broader audience.
“We’re delighted to be joining forces with MegaTrans for this year’s Summit,” he said.
“Decarbonisation is one of the defining challenges of our time, and it’s essential that our industry continues to engage in practical, informed and forward-looking discussions about how we transition to cleaner transport.”
Anderson said the partnership enables the summit to reach more operators, suppliers, policymakers and innovators than ever before.
“Hosting the Summit within MegaTrans means these conversations happen in front of thousands of people who influence, design and operate Australia’s freight and logistics networks every day,” he said.
“It’s an opportunity to share knowledge, accelerate understanding and bring alternative fuel solutions into the mainstream.”
The VTA Alternative Fuel Summit will build directly on MegaTrans’ overarching sustainability theme, exploring practical pathways toward lower-emissions transport, emerging fuel technologies and real-world transition strategies for operators across road freight, logistics and supply chain sectors.
Prime Creative Media General Manager – Events, Siobhan Rocks, said the collaboration reflects MegaTrans’ commitment to delivering meaningful, industry-led conversations around sustainability.
“Sustainability is a core pillar of MegaTrans, and alternative fuels are a critical part of that journey for the transport and logistics sector,” she said.
“Partnering with VTA allows us to take that conversation further by bringing together policy, technology and operational insight in a way that is relevant and actionable for industry.”
The partnership also features a VTA-hosted breakfast on the first day of the event which will set the tone and provide a valuable networking opportunity ahead of the summit.
“Having VTA involved across both days adds real depth to the MegaTrans program,” Rocks said.
“The VTA breakfast creates a strong platform for connection and discussion, while the Alternative Fuels Summit extends our sustainability narrative into a dedicated forum focused on future transport solutions.”
MegaTrans continues to evolve as a leading platform for the freight, logistics and supply chain sector, bringing together road, rail, sea and air under one roof to address the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry.
