In its latest move toward greener logistics, DP World has unveiled a fully electric internal transfer vehicle (ITV) within its operations at the Port of Brisbane’s Fisherman Island. The bold step of introducing an electric ITV in its fleet – a first for DP World in Australia – is projected to eliminate more than 120,000 litres of diesel fuel consumption annually, reinforcing DP World’s leadership toward sustainable, efficient port operations.

As a key trade hub for agricultural exports, motor vehicle imports, and containerised trade, Fisherman Island plays a vital role in Queensland’s economy. The new electric ITV is designed to carry containers which can weigh as much as 88 tonnes within the port, replacing diesel-powered ITVs, reducing carbon emissions and supporting Queensland’s environmental and economic goals.

This initiative is part of DP World’s sustainability strategy to build an efficient and sustainable supply chain for the future, which includes targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with a near-term target of 42% reduction of carbon footprint by 2030.

Nicolaj Noes, Executive Vice President, Oceania, DP World, highlighted the broader impact of the initiative: “Every link in the supply chain matters. While this may seem like a small step, it is a critical one. To fully decarbonise the global logistics network, we need to address every link, big and small. This initiative exemplifies what is possible when innovators and regulators collaborate to set new standards for safe and sustainable operations.”

DP World collaborated closely with the Port of Brisbane and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to integrate the electric ITV seamlessly into the port precinct. The joint effort demonstrates how private and public sectors can work together to drive meaningful progress in reducing emissions across the supply chain.

Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) CEO, Neil Stephens, congratulated DP World on the successful trial of its electric ITV at its Port of Brisbane operations: “We welcome the continued investment and innovation by DP World and its commitment to sustainability, which aligns to our own ambitions for the long-term sustainable development of the Port of Brisbane. As Port Manager, we’re focused on creating the conditions that support our customers’ innovation and to help them deliver safety, productivity and sustainability outcomes that benefit the economy and community.”

Queensland’s economy depends on efficient and sustainable trade networks, and the Port of Brisbane plays a central role in this ecosystem. With the introduction of the electric ITV to its operations, DP World is not just reducing environmental impact but also strengthening its commitment to supporting Queensland’s economic growth and leadership in green innovation.

Globally, DP World is leading electrification projects at various terminals, including the establishment of battery-swapping stations in South Korea and deploying electric-powered equipment in Peru. Locally, the Fisherman Island deployment underscores DP World’s commitment to advancing Queensland’s trade capabilities and sustainable development.
