Lowering of car transport emissions can facilitate enormous benefits for the local and global communities. This chapter considers the decarbonisation benefits of increasing zero-emissions vehicles in Australian business car fleets. It argues that more taxation support in Australia is necessary to achieve zero-emissions transport, with a focus on zero-emissions cars in business fleets. The Australian government has identified the light vehicle transport segment as one that needs to reduce its national CO2 reductions. The chapter provides comparisons of European car tax concessions. Drawing on European success in policies that result in lower car emissions, the chapter demonstrates that Australian tax changes can lead to reduced CO2 emissions and increase affordability for consumers, enabling a ‘just transition’ to decarbonisation.
