Australia's biggest electric vehicle fleet is set to grow even larger, with Australia Post revealing plans to test an electric truck capable of hauling tonnes of mail packages over large distances.
The six-month heavy vehicle trial comes as the national mail carrier revealed plans to phase out petrol-powered motorcycles within three years in its latest commitment to green transport.
The carrier has already added more than 4600 electric vehicles to its network, helping it to cut more than 7000 tonnes of carbon emissions over three years.
