New Energy Transport

What New Energy Transport does

New Energy Transport (NET) is a Sydney-based, privately held zero-emission heavy road freight carrier founded in 2024. The company operates a vertically integrated platform that owns and runs a fleet of battery-electric prime movers, builds and operates dedicated megawatt-scale charging infrastructure, and directly procures electricity from wholesale markets with on-site battery storage to optimise charging schedules. NET targets large enterprise freight buyers — supermarket chains, retailers, distributors, port/intermodal operators, and government freight networks — under multi-year contracted agreements, marketing 'no green premium' pricing designed to match diesel-equivalent freight costs while delivering Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions reporting.

The core technical stack comprises Windrose E700 and Volvo FM Electric prime movers paired with a combination of fixed megawatt-scale charging depots and NET's proprietary modular Rapid Deployment charging units (640 kW dual-dispenser chargers coupled with 125 kW battery energy storage systems that can be installed in 16 weeks). Demonstrated performance includes a 460 km single-charge Sydney-Canberra run with 36 tonnes of payload and a 480 km Picton-Beresfield round trip, achieving 84% energy cost reduction versus diesel and 12-15% journey-time improvements due to sustained highway speeds on inclines.

NET generates revenue through contracted linehaul, port cartage and intermodal freight services bundled with charging access and energy management as managed services. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct B2B engagement with large transport buyers, structured commercial agreements with dedicated fleet allocation, SLAs and KPIs. Initial operations target Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle-Canberra corridors, with the Wilton depot (50 trucks initially, expanding to 200) anchoring eastern-seaboard expansion to Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane by 2031. The company has signed six MoU agreements to date, raised $5M in equity led by Jekara Group, and is positioning for a Series A raise.

Direct peers

• WattEV: US-based operator developing truck-charging depots and electric fleet services for medium- and heavy-duty freight. Mirrors NET's vertical integration of charging infrastructure and electric truck operations on public corridors.
• Einride: Swedish electric and autonomous freight operator running a fleet-as-a-service model with proprietary charging and routing. Closest direct comparable globally — both operate electric trucks, own charging, and sell freight services (not trucks) directly to shippers.

Broad incumbents

• Volvo Trucks: Global heavy-truck OEM with the FM Electric prime mover already supplying NET for the Who Gives A Crap port trial. Comparable on the EV-truck side of NET's stack, but Volvo does not bundle its own depot construction, energy procurement, or freight service.
• Scania: Swedish heavy-truck OEM with an electric prime mover programme. Direct background of NET's co-founder Fredrik Pehrsson (former Head of Innovation). Comparable as the OEM incumbent whose product roadmap sets the technology ceiling for Australian fleet electrification.
• Daimler Truck: Global heavy-truck manufacturer behind the Mercedes-Benz eActros and eActros 600 long-haul electric trucks. A direct incumbent rival in the same zero-emission linehaul category NET targets in Australia, with a global balance sheet and dealer network.

Emerging players

• Janus Electric: Australian company focused on battery-swap electric conversions of existing heavy trucks (Kenworth). Adjacent emerging player addressing the same zero-emission Australian heavy-freight market via a different (swap-based) powertrain strategy.
• Rivian: US EV maker with a commercial-van business (Rivian Commercial Vehicles) targeting fleet electrification. Comparable as an emerging OEM-led player moving into electric commercial transport, though focused on lighter-duty vans rather than heavy linehaul.

Regional players

• Linfox: Australia's largest private logistics and trucking operator. Comparable as the incumbent Australian freight carrier NET must displace or partner with; same domestic market, but diesel-fleet-based and lacking a dedicated zero-emission linehaul product.
• Toll Holdings: Major Australian freight and logistics operator with deep domestic network reach. Comparable as the incumbent customer and potential competitive bidder for the same large transport buyer RFPs NET is targeting with its zero-emission pitch.

Others

• Windrose Technology: Chinese electric prime mover (E700) manufacturer and NET's core technology partner — supplier of the trucks used in all of NET's headline demonstrations. Comparable as an enabling OEM rather than a competitor.
