Australia's freight network is the backbone of the economy, connecting producers, businesses and consumers across vast distances. Yet the sector is facing growing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining the reliability and affordability that communities and industries depend on.

From long-haul transport moving goods across the country to the supermarket supply chains that keep shelves stocked, freight operators are navigating rising costs, changing customer expectations, evolving regulation and emerging technologies.

CEDA is pleased to welcome Mark Gjerek, Founder & Director of MOV3MENT for a discussion on Move3ment’s second 2026 report on the future of freight in Australia and the pathway to a lower-emissions transport system.

This discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges of decarbonising long-haul freight, adoption of EV trucks in fleets, the role of alternative fuels and electrification, infrastructure requirements, and the implications for supply chains, food security and the cost of goods. Attendees will gain insights into how industry and government can work together to support a more sustainable, productive and resilient freight sector.
