Greenwheels

Transport is a big contributor to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Approximately 14% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions come from transport, and 87% of that is from road transport. Cars account for around 62%, light commercial vehicles 16%, trucks and buses 22%.

We set up Green Wheels to do something about it. We want to:

• reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by making it easier for people to buy low emission vehicles
• help you when you’re buying a new car, by answering the question ‘which car has the lowest emissions?’
• get together with other organisations who are working on sustainable transportation so we can come up with good solutions
• raise awareness of new fuels and technologies that might help us reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from transport.

Future Climate Australia runs the program. It is a not-for-profit organization which provides strategies for individuals, business and government to address climate change, particularly in the areas of transport and food supply.

RACV is Victoria ’s leading voice on transport safety and mobility issues. It works with the motoring community, and is expert in assessing vehicles and technologies.

EPA Victoria uses innovative regulation and partnerships with business and industry to help drive good environmental outcomes into the future.

The LEV Partnership also has an advisory working group, made up of representatives of a number of government and industry stakeholders. These experts provide industry and policy-making perspective, support and marketing expertise.
