Decarbonising Transport
The transport sector currently produces 44% of New Zealand’s energy-related emissions. Transport decarbonisation plays a key role in New Zealand’s progress towards our 2050 net-carbon zero goals.
The Low Emission Transport Fund aims to:
- Support the demonstration of high potential and replicable low-emissions solutions in the transport sector.
- Drive the uptake of low-emissions transport technology, innovation and infrastructure
