Transport Decarbonisation - going beyond cars

Transport Decarbonisation: Beyond Electric Cars Is the future of transport just about Teslas? Not even close. In this episode, transport experts Graham McCabe and Russell King dive into the complex world of electrification—moving beyond passenger cars to explore the strategic decisions, emerging tech, and political realities of railways, aviation, heavy freight, and even motorcycles. If we want to hit Net Zero by 2050, the clock isn't just ticking—it’s practically screaming Key Topics Covered Rail Electrification Why long-term programs deliver better results than stop-start projects. The hidden costs of hybrid vs. full electric systems. Victorian Case Study: Lessons in consistency. Tech: Battery, Hydrogen & SAF The "Hydrogen Hype" vs. Reality: Addressing the efficiency gap. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and the current funding deficit. Biodiesel and alternative fuel pathways for transition. Freight & Heavy Vehicles The "Pavement Damage Equation": Weight vs. Wear. Why electric trucks are finally becoming commercially viable. ✈️ Aviation & 🏍️ Motorcycles Battery solutions for regional flights. The two schools of thought on electric motorcycles and scooter success in Asia. 💰 The Political Economy Why some policies win despite weak cost-benefit cases. Treasury incentives and the Capital vs. Operational cost trade-off. 💡 Key Insights The 2050 Math: Since vehicles have 20+ year lifespans, to reach Net Zero by 2050, we essentially need to stop buying internal combustion engines today. 🎙️ About the Hosts Graham McCabe: Founder of Step Advisory, with 25+ years in transport planning across Australasia and Asia.
