    Transport & Environment is the leading European NGO tackling air pollution and climate change induced by transport

    About

    Transport & Environment’s (T&E) vision is a zero-emission mobility system that is affordable and has minimal impacts on our health, climate and environment.

    Created over 30 years ago, we have shaped some of Europe’s most important environmental laws.

    We got the EU to set the world’s most ambitious CO2 standards for cars and trucks but also helped uncover the dieselgate scandal; we campaigned successfully to end palm oil diesel; secured global ban on dirty shipping fuels and the creation of the world’s biggest carbon market for aviation – just to name a few. Just last year T&E’s campaigning led Uber to commit to electrifying much of its European operations

    How not to lose it all

    This report by T&E analyses the risk to Europe's 1.8 TWh battery factory pipeline potential due to factors such as US subsidies and project maturity, funding, permits and links to the US. It reveals that almost 70% of the potential battery cell supply in Europe is at risk of being delayed, scaled down or not realised at all if...

    A European Response to US IRA

    One of the most ambitious climate initiatives in the world, the European Green Deal aims to transition the European Union to a net zero economy by 2050. It will need a significant uptick in technology, from wind turbines to batteries for electric cars, but the issue is how much of the value will be reaped by European business.

    E-fuels in trucks: expensive, scarce, and less green

    This report examines battery-electric trucks (BETs) against vehicles that operate on synthetic fuels (e-fuels) in 2035 in terms of lifetime emissions and total cost, and it concludes that e-fuels are not practical nor sensible for use in trucks.

    The good tax guide

    This study is the first to explicitly compare vehicle taxation policies in various European nations. The comparisons include seven different taxation systems, seven different nations, and two different ways of registration (private and corporate). The outcomes outline the various tax methodologies employed and the associated tax burden for average automobile ownership and usage.
