Our experience spans road, rail, and intermodal freight infrastructure, including cost-benefit analysis, multi-criteria assessment, and non-traditional benefit quantification.
Our road and rail work includes:
We prepare road and rail business cases to ATAP and Infrastructure Australia standards, covering option development, benefit quantification, and gateway-ready appraisals for major investment decisions.
We advise owners and access seekers on access regimes, covering reference tariff design, cost allocation, price differentiation, and access undertakings.
Our experience spans rail networks, ports, and other freight infrastructure. We also advise on the regulatory treatment of assets exposed to coal and fossil-fuel transition risk, including accelerated depreciation and risk allocation.
We advise on the economics of road pricing and heavy vehicle charging, including distance-based charging design, cost allocation, revenue sufficiency, and distributional impacts.
We have developed charging frameworks, cost benefit toolkits, and operating cost models for the NHVR, NTC, and state transport agencies. We also advise on heavy vehicle regulatory reform, access regime design, and program evaluation.
We model the cost competitiveness of battery electric trucks and other zero-emission vehicles, covering total cost of ownership, payload penalties, charging infrastructure, and the depot and network implications of fleet electrification.
We analyse freight demand, modal competition, network outage costs, and the economic benefits of network investment and resilience upgrades, supporting both operator strategy and government infrastructure decisions.

Implications of the Electric Vehicle Transition for Transport Planning and Appraisal
The electricity market will change how we drive. Is policy keeping up?
Endgame Analytics is launching a new research series on decarbonising transport. We are pleased to partner with SCT Consulting to explore the emerging electric vehicle market and its growing nexus with the electricity sector….
FEATURED INSIGHT
En route to freight electrification
The road to net zero will need to include Australia’s freight task and the economics are shifting fast. Endgame Analytics is pleased to share the second instalment of our decarbonising transport research series, this time focusing on road freight and the commercial viability of battery electric trucks (BETs) for long-haul operations. We modelled a B-double…
