New Energy Transport deploys heavy-duty electric prime movers and modular, ultra-fast charging units to provide low-emission road freight. The company is building a high-powered charging hub in Wilton, on the south-west fringe of Sydney, and is rolling out mobile charging units that can be redeployed to service freight corridors and regional agricultural hubs. The recent $5 million equity investment from Jekara Group will accelerate deployment of twenty electric prime movers to operate in late 2026 rather than mid-2027 and fund additional mobile chargers. Management says demand has surged amid rising diesel prices and policy incentives for low-emission freight, and the company plans fixed depots to extend service to Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane by 2031.
