Prime Minister Anthony Albanese personally announced the National Battery Strategy in support of the recent “Future Made in Australia” campaign and shoring up economic resilience and security.
The new strategy follows recent comments from Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles that the electrification of the entire Australian Defence Force vehicle fleet, where possible, is being considered.
The transition to electric vehicles for the ADF is expected to be a critical priority and in keeping with the future of international defence equipment, according to the ministers.
“The electrification of our vehicles is critically important; this is the way in which vehicles are going to operate into the future,” he said.
“There’s a lot more versatility that comes from being able to have electric vehicles. But as the broader economy decarbonise, we’re seeing that within defence industry, as well.”
