Smarter Fleets

The Tasmanian Government’s Smarter Fleets Program commenced in 2015 to reduce vehicle fleet greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs by providing tailored guidance and support.

Participating fleets now have:

  • improved fleet data collection and analysis, and whole-of-life fleet costing; and
  • implemented smarter vehicle booking systems.

Smarter Fleets – Electric Vehicles in Local Government

Program details

The Smarter Fleets Program supported Tasmanian councils to prepare to introduce electric vehicles into their fleets. The Program provided tailored information and analysis of the participating councils' fleets to calculate the environmental benefits and cost reductions that electric vehicles can offer.

Participating fleets received tailored advice identifying electric vehicle models and charging infrastructure that met each council’s needs. By partnering with electric vehicle and fleet experts, the Program encouraged sharing of technical expertise.

Fact sheets

Fact sheets are available to share the information and lessons learned through the Program with other Tasmanian fleets.
