Cement Australia continues to innovate in the cement industry with improved technology
Cement Australia is proud to have 6 fully Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV's) already in our fleet. The first delivery took placed in June 2023 with a prime mover nicknamed Eevee. The electric fleet is made of reconditioned Kenworth T403s.
Our BEVs have leading technological features including an On Board Mass (OBM) management system which is visible to the regulator 100% of the time to ensure compliance; and Regenerative Braking which puts charge back into the battery to increase range, especially when metro driving.
All our drivers are now trained on BEVs, ensuring that the vehicles can be driven across our entire network a as we procure them.
The positive impacts of our electric fleet can already be measured, with 245 tonnes of CO2 saved*. Cement Australia is excited to see how they will increase over time.
The decision to convert our delivery fleet from diesel to electric is part of Cement Australia's overall sustainability strategy, and the process is expected to be completed by 2030.
*Until September 2025
