Registrations are filling fast for the Victorian Transport Association Alternative Fuel Summit on 19 November, bringing together experts from government, industry, academia, and regulators, for important discussions on the transition of the freight and logistics industry towards decarbonisation.

A full-day event will be focused on Decarbonisation – The Realities of Commercial Transition and will explore the critical steps needed for the transport sector to transition to alternative fuels effectively and sustainably.

Ahead of the release of the provisional program of the summit next week, the VTA has disclosed the key sessions and topics to be discussed at the summit, which include:

• Cost of Transition: Gain insights into the financial aspects and strategies for moving to alternative fuels.
• Alternative Fuel Vehicle Case Studies: Hear real-world examples from businesses that are already implementing alternative fuel technologies.
• Keeping Pace with Regulation and Targets: Stay updated on the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications.
• Victoria on the Move: Learn what’s needed for Victoria to expedite its transition to alternative fuel vehicles.

“We know decarbonisation is a journey, but planning for it now is critical for future success,” said VTA CEO Peter Anderson.

“The Alternative Fuel Summit is designed to equip attendees with knowledge, resources, and inspiration for taking meaningful steps in this vital transition.”

The Summit will feature around 20 distinguished speakers including Victorian Freight Minister Melissa Horne and Shadow Victorian Energy Minister David Davis, offering a well-rounded perspective on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Tickets are selling fast, and the VTA encourages early registration to secure a place.

Further sponsorship and vehicle display opportunities are also available.

For more information or to inquire about sponsorship, please contact VTA Commercial Manager David Ritchie at 0417 123 964.

“The VTA extends its sincere gratitude to our event sponsors, CMV Truck & Bus and Viva Energy Australia, for their valued support in making this Summit possible,” the organisation said in a statement.

The event will run from 8am to 5pm, and tickets are priced at $176 (including GST), covering morning and afternoon tea, as well as lunch.

Attendees are encouraged to register early as tickets are selling fast.

For further information or to register, please visit the VTA website.
