It's time for businesses to get in the fast lane and electrify their cars and trucks!
Companies have a significant role to play in driving down Australia’s transport climate pollution – but they’re not moving fast enough!
Electrifying fleets is good for the planet, good for communities, and good for business.
Because fleets are a major contributor to the second hand car market, electrifying company fleets means more EVs for everyday Aussies – and quieter, cleaner roads for every community.
Many of Australia’s largest companies have yet to commit to renewable-powered electric fleets. Sign the open letter now to steer them in the right direction!
After signing, share the case to electrify fleets with your network on LinkedIn to keep the electrify conversation going.

Add your name to our open letter to tell Australia's biggest businesses to clean up their transport by making the switch to renewable-powered electric cars and trucks.
Dear Australian companies,
Transport is Australia’s third largest and fastest growing source of climate pollution, and over 40% of new car sales each year are purchased for fleets. Corporate fleets are responsible for about 3.9 million cars on the road here, with just 1,000 companies responsible for 1.5 million vehicles.
Australian businesses play an important role in influencing transport pollution, and have a big opportunity to clean up our roads. This means making strong commitments to electrify your transport and power it with renewables.
As customers, employees and investors of your businesses, we are calling on you to commit to:
- Only buy battery electric cars, vans and utes by 2025, and set a target for 100% electric by 2030
- Commit to zero emissions trucking by 2040, starting with light trucking by 2030
- Set matching targets in supply chain contracts and work with suppliers to meet them
Continued reliance on fossil fuel vehicles is harming our health and our future. It's time to switch to electric vehicles which are better for the planet, communities, and good for business.
Please lead the way towards a cleaner, healthier future by committing to renewable-powered electric vehicles in your fleets

Greenpeace Australia Pacific acknowledges and pays respect to Elders past and present, and the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters within our region. We acknowledge the continuation of their cultural, spiritual and educational practices. First Nations peoples are often on the frontline of climate change impacts – with rising sea levels in the Torres Strait and the Pacific, the destruction of sacred Country and diminishing food and water accessibility. The work we do is all about a just, green, sustainable future and we can’t achieve this without Indigenous justice.
