Presentation by Dr Jonathan Spear
In 2017, the Victorian Government asked Infrastructure Victoria to provide advice on what infrastructure might be required to pave the way for both highly automated and zero emissions vehicles.
Following 12 months of intensive evidence gathering, research, modelling and analysis, our advice was delivered to government in October 2018, including 17 recommendations for how Victoria can best prepare for the vehicles of the future.
Electric and zero emissions vehicles are already here on our roads, and have the potential to provide significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, better public health and a cleaner environment. Just some of our findings included that a fleet made up entirely of zero emissions vehicles is projected to eliminate around 27 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2046, and deliver over $706 million in health benefits to Victorians.

More examples of Infrastructure Victoria's plans for re-imagined streets with 100% shared automated and zero emissions vehicles can be seen here.
