Road freight transport's transition to 'net zero'
At NatRoad, we are committed to supporting our members and industry to remain commercially viable and sustainable. To help the transport industry on the decarbonisation journey we are working in 3 key areas:
Being a voice into government to advocate for our industry.
Provide education information for operators.
Provide practical tools for members.
2026 IRU Green Compact Survey
For the second year, NatRoad is supporting the World Road Transport Organisation (IRU) to gather responses from Australian operators to the IRU Green Compact Survey.
Amid current fuel price volatility, the IRU Green Compact Survey is building the evidence needed to support the industry’s progress towards carbon neutrality in the longer term.
The survey gathers input from truck operators to track where decarbonisation stands today. It’s a simple, practical way to identify what’s working, what’s not, and what support operators will need over the coming years as fleets, customers and regulation continue to evolve.
Last year’s results helped NatRoad pinpoint the key levers, barriers and concerns affecting members. We use your responses to demonstrate what is really happening on the ground, and call for government support of our industry.
If you can, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Every response strengthens the evidence we can take to government and policymakers to push for practical, long-term support.
The short survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and closes soon.
Get Fleet Fit Initiative
Get Fleet Fit is designed to guide truck operators towards improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and alignment with future government regulations and customer expectations. As the industry and nation moves towards a net zero future, we are here to ensure you are fully equipped to meet these challenges head-on.
Why Get Fleet Fit?
As regulatory pressures mount and the global push towards sustainability intensifies, the trucking industry must adapt swiftly to remain competitive and compliant. Get Fleet Fit provides a clear, actionable plan to help you meet regulatory requirements and boost your business’s bottom line through increased efficiency and potentially lower operational costs.
To assist, we’ve created a five-step plan for your business.

We're in This Together
NatRoad isn’t just about providing resources; we’re about building a community of forward-thinking truck operators. Together, we can tackle the challenges of today and pave the way for a sustainable tomorrow.

NatRoad's White Paper on Road Transport Decarbonisation
Late last year, NatRoad called on the Federal Government to commit to a $3.5 billion fund to support the truck industry’s decarbonisation.
Our call for a Clean Transport Fund can be found in our Australian road freight transport decarbonisation industry whitepaper. It draws on local and global research, and experience on the shift to low emission road freight vehicles and operations.
It advocates for a mix of financing and direct incentives to drive the move towards alternative fuels like electricity, hydrogen, and low emission trucks.
