T&E’s vision is a zero-emission mobility system that is affordable and has minimal impacts on our health, climate and environment. We are a politically independent non-profit organisation that combines the power of robust, science-based evidence and a deep understanding of transport with memorable communications and impactful advocacy.

The potential impact of this work programme is enormous. The majority of new cars in Europe – 57% – are registered to corporate fleets. Influencing the type of cars that enter the corporate fleet therefore shapes the type of cars that flow into the second-hand market and beyond. We are focused on this issue because corporate fleets will determine the future of road transport.

Primary responsibilities
- Lead the development and implementation of the corporate engagement strategy for the programme;

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