At TruckShowX 2026, prominent local fleet SGS Logistics will discuss the commercial drivers behind battery electric trucking, and how infrastructure partners like NewVolt can help fleets transition, unlock new opportunities and reduce long-term operating costs.

The transport operator is set to take advantage of NewVolt’s future national network of shared charging infrastructure, delivering price-certain, reliable energy, exclusively for the transport industry.

SGS Logistics, established in 2015, delivers contract cartage, permanent vehicle hire, and end-to-end distribution across metropolitan and regional Australia. The business is focused on improving efficiency and reducing emissions where it makes commercial and operational sense.

“We’re not approaching electrification for sustainability reasons alone, we’re also looking at it through a commercial lens,” SGS Logistics co-founding Director Luke Sadler says.

“If it helps us win work, improves reliability and reduces long-term operating risk, then it becomes a real opportunity for our business.

“The biggest barrier to electrification for companies like SGS isn’t the vehicles, it’s the infrastructure. Having access to a reliable, price-certain charging network changes the equation and gives operators like us the confidence to start moving.”

Anthony Headlam, NewVolt Co-Founder and CEO, will also be on-hand to discuss the company’s approach to building Australia’s first shared, open-access truck charging network.

The company recently received $25.3 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to build a shared fast‑charging network for electric trucks in Victoria.

To support the electrification of Australian road freight, NewVolt will deliver three open-access, fast‑charging hubs for heavy and medium electric trucks along major freight corridors in Melbourne’s west, south-east and northern suburbs. The charging hubs will provide fast charging to both foundation fleet customers and the broader industry.

“The biggest barrier for operators isn’t the truck, it’s knowing the infrastructure will be there when they need it. That’s what we’re building. A shared, open-access charging network designed around how fleets actually operate, not around a single corridor or a single customer,” he says.

“This isn’t about picking one truck, one OEM, or one charging provider. It’s about using Australia’s renewable energy advantage to make zero-emission freight genuinely cheaper than diesel — not just as a sustainability exercise, but as a commercial outcome for operators,” he adds.

“The hard work is in the detail — scheduling, depot integration, maintenance, route planning, energy costs that actually work for fleet operators. That’s why working alongside businesses like SGS matters. They’re not waiting for a perfect future, they’re making practical decisions now, and we need to build infrastructure that supports that.”

To be held on May 18-19, 2026 at Rydges Hunter Valley in regional NSW, TruckShowX 2026 will feature an unrivalled lineup of the industry’s prime movers sharing how they are embracing the latest innovations, technologies and processes to reduce operating costs, boost productivity and cut emissions.

The program will also include an expo showcasing technology, equipment, and services across a range of new areas, a unique ‘Drive Day’ opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest truck models from leading manufacturers, and for the first time, a trailer display.

The full program is available here and tickets can be purchased here.
