"Australian logistics company Team Global Express is to add more than 300
electric trucks, vans and mobile charging stations to its already substantial
fleet of electric last mile delivery trucks after landing a major $190 million
financing deal led by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
The funding boost will add to the company’s purchase of 60 electric last mile
electric trucks the company has already made in partnership with the Australian
Renewable Energy Agency, along with the rooftop solar, charging and battery
storage facilities.
The CEFC will contribute $30 million in concessional finance to TGE, part of a
$190 million finance package that also includes Australian and international
financiers such as Commonwealth Bank Australia, IFM Investors, Daimler Trucks
Financial Services, and Income Asset Management.
The 300 assets will include light, medium and rigid battery electric trucks,
courier vans, hybrid refrigerated trucks and mobile charging unit
infrastructure across sites in Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland over the next
three years. There was no indication of the breakdown in numbers of invidual
assets.
TGE already operates the country’s biggest fleet of electric trucks, and the
new finance comes less than three months after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
launched the company’s $44 million electric last-mile delivery hub, which
includes a fleet of 60 fully electric last mile delivery trucks, battery
storage and rooftop solar, and some astonishing savings from grid costs."
