Editorial director and founder of Transport + Energy Alec Peachey and content manager James Evison discuss what 2026 could bring for the two sectors.

Talking Transport + Energy is a new series which will see interviews with some of the leading figures in the two sectors, analysing recent developments and the critical issues for this year and the future.

The video discussion outlines a variety of core topics for the sectors, such as:

  • Sales of electric vehicles (EV) are on the rise – so will momentum continue into the new year and beyond?
  • The charging infrastructure roll-out has also gathered pace, but what about the role of local authorities, and how are LEVI-funded projects faring?
  • Fleet decarbonisation: the scaling-up and changing role of fleet managers is critical to the transition. Alec and James discuss what this means for the sector.
  • Government policy certainty: the Electric Car Grant has had a profound impact, but what about the used EV market and the introduction of eVED?
  • The energy market: how will grid connections, the growth of renewable technologies and changes to planning rules impact the transition?
