Self-driving vehicles will make driving easier, allow people to be more productive and offer greater mobility to a wider range of people than ever before. They will also help improve road safety, reduce emissions, and ease congestion. As a result, self-driving vehicles will provide significant economic, environmental and social benefits, including improving social inclusion.
The key thrust of ARRB’s Driverless Vehicle Initiative is to build momentum by rapidly exploring the impacts and requirements of this new technology in a truly Australian context and making recommendations on ways to safely and successfully bring self-driving vehicles to Australian roads.
To do this ARRB will raise public awareness through live demonstrations involving government, industry, research entities and the media. The intention is to provide an avenue to showcase the involvement and contributions of collaborating partners involved in this important initiative.

The Electric Vehicle Council is comprised of representatives from academic, industry and corporate sectors, who act as advocates for the adoption of electric vehicles. The aim of the Council is to promote EVs as a viable transportation alternative to conventionally fuelled vehicles.
The EVC provides a focal point for electric vehicles. Its main aims are to:
Generate political and business support for electric vehicles with a coordinated approach through the council’s academic and corporate representatives and government stakeholders;
Establish networks and relationships with industry stakeholders, and provide a point of contact for electric vehicle manufacturers and suppliers;
Monitor developments in the global electric vehicle industry, inform stakeholders of projects relating to new and emerging technologies, and build on international experience and expertise within Australia;
Support local individuals/academia who are seeking to progress electric vehicle technologies and research;
Solicit support from interested parties such as community groups and government to support the establishment of the electric vehicle market; and
Assist in lobbying for funding and other non-financial support to increase the customer value proposition for electric vehicle ownership.
A complex supply chain exists with increasing border security requirements, evolving global trade agreements, variations in international shipping practices and numerous domestic landside logistics issues requiring ongoing reform. These issues are intertwined requiring the need for a considered approach in representation to government and various sectors of commerce. In this contemporary environment it is essential that advocacy is representative of a cross-section of Australia’s international trade sector.
FTA provides this important advocacy role by maintaining a collaborative relationship with key people across government and commerce. As your business partner, we also provide advice, contacts, training, events and relevant operational information. We look forward to you joining the alliance.
