Victorian councils are progressing their transition to net-zero fleets – some more quickly than others. A new event has been announced to support this journey. The EV Fleet Expo for Local Government, hosted by Ravim RBC, will be held on Wednesday 19 November 2025 at Event Central at Caribbean Park, Scoresby.
Designed specifically for Fleet Managers, sustainability and procurement professionals, and operational staff, this one-day expo will showcase the latest in battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and EV-related products/services. With a strong focus on operational fleet applications, the event will help us discover what’s next for council fleets while meeting both operational requirements and progressing towards low/zero-emission targets.
