These real-life case studies will include Team Global Express’s Heather Bone and JET Charge’s Alex Bowler talking depot electrification; Hyzon’s John Edgley on the local trial of its hydrogen fuel cell-powered waste collection truck; and Alex Kelly of IKEA on the homewares retailer’s rollout of EVs for last-mile customer deliveries.
There'll also be case studies on electric solutions for FMCG operations featuring Daimler Truck’s Romesh Rodrigo, hydrogen refuelling in remote mining applications featuring Daniel Krosch from Ark Energy, and BEV-powered airport refuelers at Brisbane Airport featuring SEA Electric’s Glenn Walker.
And on the equipment front, sessions will include a run down on EVs suited to B2C operations from Foton’s Bill Gillespie, Revora’s Nathan Gore-Brown on next-generation battery-powered refrigerated trucks, plus a series of presentations on the trailers of the future from SAF-Holland’s Nemanja Miletic, Dana’s Matt James, Move EV’s Jamie Lodge, and Arends Trailers’ Dean Panos.
More speakers will join those already announced in the sessions and case studies in the coming weeks and months.
A spin-off of the Brisbane Truck Show, HVIA says TruckShowX is set to be the biggest trucking industry decarbonisation event held to date in Australia.
To be held May 13-14, 2024 at RACV Cape Schanck Resort in Victoria, it will explore LZEVs and technology, and unpack the interconnected ‘ecosystem’ of equipment, infrastructure, services, regulations, policies, and people that must exist for them to work as a solution.
The two-day event will feature keynote presentations from global leaders in LZEV adoption, supported by practical case studies of local operators leading the decarbonisation effort.
