Planning a transition to low and zero emission construction machinery

Conventional non-road construction machinery and equipment are powered primarily using diesel, which contributes to both GHG emissions and air pollution. Australia currently has no regulations to control emissions from non-road diesel engines (covering machinery and equipment).

This calls for a comprehensive review of existing and upcoming low and zero-emission non-road construction machinery, relevant global policies, and international case studies where these technologies have been implemented.

These evidence-based findings will enable the development of strategic roadmaps and new emission standards for transitioning non-road construction machinery to low and zero-emission alternatives, accounting for existing and future construction requirements over the next 20 years.
