History
In 2019, TrueGreen Impact Group was established by Kirk Tsihlis.[2][3] It was spun out and rebranded as GoZero Group in 2023.[4][5][6]
Its subsidiaries and operations are:[7]
- GoZero - consultant on zero emissions
- North Sydney Bus Charters - charter bus company in Sydney, acquired in August 2023[8]
- Nexport Mobility - electric bus manufacturer, appointed as a preferred supplier of electric buses for Transport for NSW since March 2024[9]
- BusTech - bus manufacturer in South Australia and Queensland, acquired in 2025[10][11]
- Gemilang Australia - manufacturer of bus bodies in Australia. Formed in September 2009, it was previously 50% owned by Malaysia's Gemilang Coachworks until June 2019.[12][13] It has also since entered a long-term distribution agreement with Gemilang Coachworks for the supply of the latter's part-assembled knock-down bus kits to the former for assembly in Australia.
GoZero Group also 50% of Foton Mobility Distribution Australia, an importer and distributor of Foton Mobility light commercial electric trucks and hydrogen buses in Australia.[14]
In February 2025, it was announced that GoZero Group will be acquired by hydrogen holding company United H2 Limited (UHL), with the latter planned to be rebranded as New Energy Opportunities Limited (NEO). There would be no change in GoZero Group's management or board with day-to-day operations. GoZero Group also plans to pursue an initial public offering in mid-2025.[11][15][needs update]
In subsequent reporting, The Australian Financial Review stated that Amicaa, which had been involved in arranging debt financing for the transaction, withdrew its support.[16]
The Fifth Estate reported that the withdrawal of support was linked to reputational concerns associated with long-term involvement of founder Kirk Tsihlis with the bus group.[17]
Following the withdrawal of financing support, the proposed acquisition did not proceed as originally announced.
