The Proposal
- Commit to a WA-made, all-electric Transperth bus and CAT fleet by 2025, and TransWA fleet by 2030. This could be achieved by immediately renegotiating the recent supply contract for 900 new buses.
- Support Perth’s Volgren factory transitioning to manufacturing and maintaining an all-electric bus fleet.
- Explore the potential to extend and expand the Volgren factory to convert and retrofit WA’s non-passenger vehicles, including trucks and tractors. Committing to convert the government-owned commercial fleet by 2025 would kickstart this industry.
