• The cost of charging or refuelling new low or zero‑emissions vehicles;
• Adopting low‑carbon liquid fuels including renewable diesel or biodiesel;
• Trialling new technologies or innovative business ideas that reduce emissions; and
• Other projects that align with the program’s objectives and contribute to emissions reduction.
