Greening our Transport Fleet - continued

We are also keenly monitoring vehicle industry developments around the world, such as fuel cell technology and electric vehicles, and are especially interested in low sulphur diesel fuels and next-generation low emission engines which would result in lower volumes of sulphur, carbon dioxide and particulates entering the environment.

Road to Rail

Transport so clean you can only hear it Credit: Isamu Sawa.

Trains can be a breathtaking way to see the country and they can also be the perfect solution for moving mail across the sparsely inhabited Nullarbor Plain from Adelaide to Perth. Our decision to transport mail by rail to Western Australia instead of by road saves:

• 2.5 million litres of diesel each year
• Resulting in a reduction of 7,361 tonnes of carbon dioxide
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5% each year

Even the carefully prepared containerisation has helped maximise space and add to transportation efficiencies.

We are continuing to look at further rail options wherever practical and are hopeful of further savings in the next few years.
