⏰ Cars are growing 1.2 cm longer every year, a new study from T&E UK and Clean Cities shows. UK cities are set to lose between 8.5% and 14% of their on-street parking by 2040 if this trend continues unchecked.

Britain’s automotive industry wants to weaken the ZEV mandate - but its case does not stand up to scrutiny.

Great to see @theguardian.com cover T&E 's story on oil prices and the scramble for biofuels. Crop-based biofuels cannot scale without serious trade-offs including deforestation. These fuels also deliver little to no emission saving compared to fossil fuels. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scramble for biofuel as oil prices rise ‘could push world closer to food crisis’

Experts say increased use of crops for fuel is ‘dangerous game’ that could send food price inflation soaring

Great to write this piece for @politicshome.bsky.social today. Unlocking affordable access to EVs through social leasing would cut bills for lower income households, further our energy independence, and help fight the climate crisis.

A French social leasing scheme, designed to make electric vehicles affordable for less wealthy households, triggered an application surge It showed that when economic conditions are met, there is public demand for EVs The UK can follow France's example, writes T&E UK's @eloisesacares.bsky.social

🛢️ Eighteen organisations across trade unions, civil society and industry call for social leasing in the UK 🛢️ Social leasing would cut emissions, ease energy bills, and deliver a fair response to the current petrol crisis. Read the letter ⬇️ www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

NEW: A major supplier of ‘green’ airline fuel to the UK has sourced beef fat linked to illegal Amazon deforestation Our new investigation 🐄 🌳 ✈️: unearthed.greenpeace.org/2026/04/10/u...

📅 Date for your diary: Thursday 9th April, 12:00–1:00pm BST The UK’s electric vehicle transition is accelerating, but to make this shift truly fair, affordability must be front and centre. Register for our Zoom Webinar here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

We are pleased to be quoted in this story in The i Paper highlighting how airlines have lobbied the government to reintroduce destructive crop‑based biofuels into the UK’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate. inews.co.uk/news/airline...

Airlines are pushing for plant-based fuel – but it could make your weekly shop dearer

Jet2 and EasyJet argue that crop-based fuels could offer a cheaper solution for green air travel – but environmental groups warn there will be consequences

It's National Pothole Day ❗ 🚩 We can all agree potholes suck. But not all drivers are equal culprits - a 2 tonne SUV causes up to 16 times as much road damage as a 1 tonne car. That's why @transenvuk.bsky.social want a Large Vehicle Levy to fairly charge SUV users for their impact on our roads.

🚛 The UK’s HGV decarbonisation journey is gaining momentum. The government's long-awaited consultation on decarbonising HGVs marks another crucial step towards a cleaner, greener, and increasingly cost-competitive freight sector. 🧵

"The UK must stand firm. Our ZEV mandate is already driving jobs, investment and innovation into the UK. As major exporters we cannot compete unless we innovate, and global markets are going electric fast," said T&E UK's director Anna Krajinska. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚗 Pay-per-mile charging is the right long-term goal, but giving plug-in-hybrids another tax break unjustifiable.

We support this campaign from @wearepossible.bsky.social highlighting public support for fairer taxation of private jets in the UK.

Possible@wearepossible.bsky.social · 8mo ago

NEW | Our latest research exposes just how lightly private jet users are taxed — and how much the UK is losing because of it. It’s time the biggest polluters paid their share.

What’s been happening with SUV sales in the UK? 🚘 SUV sales have continued to grow in the UK market this year - meaning more emissions, safety risks and road wear, and less space on our roads for pedestrians and communities 📈

Great to see our UK director Anna Krajinska interviewed by @jeevanvasagar.bsky.social for this piece in @theobserveruk.bsky.social on how the UK’s green transition is shaping up, and what’s at stake if we don’t keep up. observer.co.uk/news/busines...

We’ve joined forces across civil society & have written a joint letter to the HM Treasury advising urgent tax reform on the UK’s heaviest, most polluting cars. We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly £2bn for vital public investment. #AutumnBudget

🚗⚡ Electric Cars Drive UK Auto Industry’s Biggest Growth Opportunity! A thread ⬇️

🔋Today’s Electric Vehicle (EV) stats from New Automotive highlight a breakthrough month for the UK EV market delivering the highest battery electric vehicle (BEV) market share of the year, with 26% of all new cars sold fully electric.

🔌 Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers who are able to rely on at-home charging have already been benefitting from lower running costs compared to petrol vehicles, but new analysis from The Times now shows that drivers relying solely on public charging are also saving money.
