Project Spark

In June 2024, ANC launched Project Spark – an ambitious program to roll-out Australia’s largest fleet of last mile Electric Vehicles. 

Over 100 last mile EV's on the road, and counting...

ANC has recently achieved a major milestone - accelerating past 100 electric vehicles on the road.

And this is just the beginning. We’re committed to transitioning 30% of our total fleet to electric by 2028.

The future of last mile delivery is electric, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Our EV fleet by the numbers

100+ EV's in the fleet

100+ EV's in the fleet

Our EV fleet is made up of custom designed JAC N90 trucks and LDV eDeliver 9 Cab Chassis vehicles, plus LDV electric vans and a few tuk-tuks. It's a versatile fleet built for efficiency.

11% of our monthly deliveries

11% of our monthly deliveries

11% of all client deliveries are now zero-emission, marking 37% progress toward our goal of 30% EV deliveries by 2028. We’ve avoided 74,000 kg of CO₂ — equivalent to taking 24 cars off the road for a year.

Every km. Every kilo. Every delivery counts.

Every km. Every kilo. Every delivery counts.

Our zero emissions vehicles travelled 154,000 km, and moved nearly 2 million kg of freight — all emissions-free. This is what progress looks like, and we couldn't be prouder of our team.

ARENA funding agreement

Project Spark is supported by a significant funding agreement with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to accelerate the electrification of our delivery fleet.

Our EV roll-out will be supported by ARENA as part of its Driving the Nation program – an ongoing initiative aimed at enabling the deployment of new zero emissions vehicle technologies.

ARENA's commitment of $12.8m will help to close the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) gap for our Delivery Professionals as they transition to EV's.

Better for customers, better for Australia

Charging infrastructure and operational discovery

We’re still learning every day about how to optimise EV's in the real world. And one of the key learnings is that you must establish the right operational infrastructure to support the technology. That’s why our EV roll-out programme also includes the installation of 112 charging stations to power the EV fleet.

This strategic charging infrastructure will be used to support daytime operations and ensure optimal vehicle uptime and reliability.

Benefits for our Clients

The driver for change

In 2020, 38% of Australia’s transport-related CO2 emissions were from light and heavy commercial vehicles. That’s why we believe a business like ours has an opportunity, and an obligation, to lead the industry towards a lower carbon last mile.

Our journey towards electrification is already well underway and in the past year we have grown our electric fleet to 72 vehicles – with a mixed fleet of JAC EV trucks, LDV cab-chassis and vans.
