Opportunities open for global technology, expertise and design
The Victorian Government is strongly supporting the research, trials and commercialisation of technology that will increase public transport usage, decrease congestion, and lower costs for business. Click on the below and find out more about opportunities to:
Design the vehicles of the future
- Electric and zero emission vehicles . There is growing demand for automated vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Victorian Government incentives are growing the electric vehicle market, with key infrastructure already being built
- Battery technology and infrastructure. There is increasing climate awareness and improvements in battery technology performance/cost driving consumer interest. Governments will also maintain electric and automated fleets for their transport systems
Expand mobility services
- Services to provide faster and customised travel experiences, including mobility sharing, micro mobility, on-demand public transport, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) and first-mile-last-mile (FMLM) solutions
- Mobility solutions for business. Australia is undergoing significant growth in businesses that regularly need to transport people, in small or large numbers, and are seeking custom mobility service solutions
Develop intelligent transport systems
- Smart transport infrastructure. Victorian and other state governments, transport departments and private companies are strong customers for smarter infrastructure and for transport management services, from traffic signal monitoring to transport journey apps
- Data insights that improve traffic management. The Victorian Government is aiming to use richer datasets to reduce congestion and improve the movement flow of large commuter volumes
Launch automated drone and freight
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Drone adoption is predicted to grow rapidly for producers and consumers in Australian market, including long distance transport routes in Australia, and with extensive use in the mining industry.
