GoZero Group is an Australian group of companies specialising in zero-emission vehicles, including electric bus manufacturing and charter bus operations. The company was incorporated in 2020 as TrueGreen Impact Group Limited and was renamed Land Energia Pty Ltd in 2025 following a series of corporate name changes.

History

In 2019, TrueGreen Impact Group was established by Kirk Tsihlis. It was spun out and rebranded as GoZero Group in 2023.

Its subsidiaries and operations are:

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.

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.[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.

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.

Following the withdrawal of financing support, the proposed acquisition did not proceed as originally announced.
