NET completes Australia’s first fully electric end-to-end delivery from Sydney to Canberra

New Energy Transport has partnered with ANC to complete Australia’s first fully electric ‘end-to-end’ delivery from Sydney to Canberra.

New Energy Transport has delivered essential household goods for its customer Who Gives A Crap from their distribution centre in Sydney to Canberra with a Windrose prime mover on a single charge.

At their cross-docking facility in Canberra, NET’s partner ANC Delivers then completed the delivery to end customers with their electric delivery vans.

This delivery ushers in a new era for Australian road freight where electric heavy trucks are not just cheaper and faster, they unshackle Australia from volatile global oil markets, dramatically strengthening our supply chain resilience.

Time to seize moment 

NET Co-CEO Dan Bleakley says now is the time to accelerate the transition to electric trucks.

“Australia must act now and seize this moment to decouple from diesel.” said Bleakley.

“Australia’s major transport buyers, including our supermarket chains who depend on diesel-based trucking to deliver food to millions, have a responsibility to accelerate the transition to resilient road freight.

“Governments at all levels also have a major role to play. By co-investing in charging infrastructure and making electric prime movers more affordable through targeted subsidies and incentives, they can catalyse industry adoption and unlock long-term economic, productivity, and energy security benefits for Australia.”

Leading by example

Simon Griffiths, Co-Founder and CEO of Who Gives A Crap says decarbonising their supply chains is one of the most impactful steps any business can take for the planet.

“We are proving that the transition to electric vehicle fleets isn’t just a future goal – it’s possible right now. By integrating EV freight into our own operations, we’re demonstrating that the solutions are ready and effective for Australian commerce.” said Griffiths.

“Our goal is to help shape the future of zero-emission freight in Australia. We know that as more businesses make the switch to electric, we create the collective momentum needed to transform our national logistics network. We’re proud to be leading the charge with partners like New Energy Transport and ANC, and we’re calling on other businesses to join us in making sustainable, electric shipping the new standard.”

Australia’s first “Green Corridor”

ANC, who already has a fleet of over 100 electric last-mile delivery vans and trucks, is excited by the new end-to-end capability enabled by New Energy Transport.

“ANC is proud to partner with New Energy Transport and Who Gives A Crap to establish a green corridor from Sydney to Canberra.” said ANC CEO Joe Sofra.

“While driven by a shared vision to accelerate zero-emissions transport, this initiative also demonstrates what’s possible in delivering enhanced energy resilience amid ongoing fuel volatility and supply uncertainty.”

Daily SYD-CBR electric operations to commence within months

ANC and New Energy Transport will commence daily Sydney to Canberra electric B-double operations in Q3 2026. From there the companies plan to scale zero-emission end-to-end operations along the SYD-CBR corridor and expand to other major freight routes along the eastern seaboard.
