The Tasmanian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (TACC) has served the automotive industry in Tasmania since 1928.

There had always been a long standing and mutually supportive relationship between TACC and the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC).

TACC successfully lobbied state government on behalf of members for many years, but times were changing and in 1999 TACC and VACC were amalgamated. This merger offered members a more diverse range of services, while still maintaining a Tasmanian perspective on local issues.

Today we are dedicated to the promotion, representation and preservation of member businesses to local, state and federal governments, as well as the media, consumers and the community.

Toyota Australia Hydrogen Centre visit

17 December 2021

VACC leaders visited the Toyota Hydrogen Centre in Altona to view the latest low-emission hydrogen initiatives and test out the Mirai – a cutting-edge hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. 

Led by VACC President, Mark Awramenko, the Chamber cohort included members of the Executive Board, VACC CEO Geoff Gwilym, as well as VACC staff representing the technical, apprenticeships and policy arenas.

The group heard from Toyota Australia's Senior Engagement and Education Specialist, Troy D'Souza, before hitting Toyota's private test track.

The centre visit follows the release of the Chamber's research paper, Electric vehicle technicians – a looming crisis – drafted in response to the Federal Government’s Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy pledge of 1.7 million zero and low emission vehicles on-road by 2030. As the industry landscape changes and electric vehicle uptake accelerates, a primary responsibility of VACC continues to be research and advocacy in order to prepare and support member-businesses.

Officially opened in March this year, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency contributed $3.1 million to the development, with Toyota Australia investing the remaining $4.3 million.
