ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Ausgrid's decision to use an electric truck for its mobile mechanic service is a clear indication that the organisation is committed to reducing its environmental impact, and this has significant implications for the automotive industry.

The fact that Ausgrid is a finalist in the Fleet of the Year category in the 2026 Fleet News Group Awards suggests that its approach to fleet management is being recognised as best practice.

The Electric Vehicle Opportunity

The use of electric trucks for mobile services is an area that dealers should be paying close attention to, as it has the potential to drive demand for electric vehicles in the commercial sector.

This could lead to increased sales of electric vehicles, particularly in the light commercial segment, and dealers should be preparing to meet this demand by ensuring they have a range of electric models available.

Competitor Response

Other organisations are likely to follow Ausgrid's lead and adopt electric vehicles for their fleets, which could lead to a surge in demand for electric vehicles and put pressure on dealers to keep up with this demand.

Dealers should be reviewing their stock and ordering processes to ensure they can meet the anticipated increase in demand for electric vehicles.

Taking Action

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their current electric vehicle offerings and develop a plan to increase their stock of electric models, particularly in the light commercial segment, to meet the anticipated demand from commercial fleets.
