The Organisation
Transport & Environment (T&E) is the independent expert in enabling clean transport for all. For more than 35 years, T&E has been at the forefront of decarbonizing transport and energy, leading the way towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. Headquartered in Europe, T&E’s independent, evidence-based research, coupled with powerful advocacy and communications, has helped shape impactful policies that accelerate a just, efficient transition to zero-emission transportation and energy that is affordable, circular, with minimal impacts on health and the environment.
T&E has shaped some of Europe’s most important environmental laws. Their pioneering campaigning has resulted in the EU setting the world’s most ambitious CO2 standards for cars and trucks; uncovering the diesel gate scandal; ending palm oil diesel; securing a global ban on dirty shipping fuels, and the creation of the world’s biggest carbon market for aviation. In 2022, T&E’s campaigning led to the EU ending new combustion engine cars and vans sales by 2035. This year T&E is expanding its work into the Asia-Pacific region.
