Australia’s truck fleet is among the oldest in the developed world — and it’s putting our communities, environment, and economy at risk. By 2030, 163,500 trucks built during or before 1996 will still be operating with basic safety technologies and no or only basic emission standards. Without action, this number will continue to grow — by 2030, nearly one-third of the national fleet will be over 23 years old.

The National Truck Plan, developed by the Truck Industry Council, provides a clear and economically responsible roadmap to modernise the fleet. By accelerating the adoption of safer, greener, and cleaner vehicles, and improving freight efficiency, the plan delivers benefits for all Australians —including fewer road crashes and fatalities, healthier air, reduced CO₂ emissions and a stronger economy.
