About T&E

T&E is the independent expert in enabling clean transport for all. Our vision is a zero-emissions mobility system that is affordable and has minimal impacts on our health and environment. Since we were created 30 years ago, T&E has 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 a global ban on dirty shipping fuels and the creation of the aviation ETS, the world's largest carbon market for aviation, to name just a few.

We combine the power of robust, science-based evidence and a deep understanding of transport with powerful communications and impactful advocacy. Our staff in Brussels, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Berlin, Warsaw and London collaborate with our 49 national members. From 2024, T&E has been enhancing our collaboration between Asia and Europe, starting from our Singapore office, to accelerate zero-emission transport and energy transition, helping ensure that global decarbonization efforts are both inclusive and regionally grounded. Altogether, our members represent more than 3.5 million people.
