The Silver Partners of the Transport + Energy Forum help the show to deliver on its agenda of collaboration between the public and private sectors. Outlined here are the partnerships, and who will be speaking on the day.
Trojan Energy
Trojan Energy was formed in 2016 with one mission: to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition.
Starting with enabling the switch to eMobility, we developed the Trojan Electric Vehicle Charging System. A system that finally offers an equal chance for EV drivers without a driveway to charge effectively at home, while preserving their streetscape. A system that doesn’t require councils to zone off parking spaces and gives network operators the ability to manage power demand in real time. A system smart enough to offer a convenient way to charge that’s green, cheap, immediate – or a combination of all three – at up to 22kW. A system that delivers flat and flush chargepoints in hubs of up to fifteen, or single units powered by the home, to leave the streetscape uncluttered for everyone. We want to give drivers the confidence and convenience they want to go electric.
We’re doing our bit for the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality by supporting electrification and the transition to renewable energy. We’re doing this by addressing the lack of EV charging infrastructure in your local neighbourhood.
We’re charging towards Net-Zero.
The AA
For more than a century, the AA has been dedicated to serving fleets at every stage of their journey, providing breakdown cover, insurance, automotive guidance, and additional services to many millions of members, customers and drivers.
As the transition to alternative fuels continues, we remain devoted to being the leading provider of EV support services. We work closely in global partnership with industry organisations, vehicle manufacturers, and innovative infrastructure providers, to ensure we all achieve our net zero goals.
We’re firmly committed to supporting safer and more accessible ways of driving, helping fleets achieve this in the most efficient way possible, alongside our partners at Drivetech and Prestige Fleet Servicing.
Qwello
Qwello is a vertically integrated developer, manufacturer and operator of public charging infrastructure using a highly innovative, practical and driver friendly solution.
Qwello are rolling out thousands of public AC charge points in Germany, Sweden, Spain, Poland, France and now in the UK in The City of London, Hounslow, Essex, Solihull, Cheshire East, East Lothian and Lincolnshire. We are focused on our market development offering local authorities and landlords a fully funded class leading end to end charging infrastructure. Features include:
• Integrated 6m retractable cable for convenience, security and to minimise trip hazards which meets the new BSI PAS1899 accessibility standard
• Built-in (not added later) contactless debit/credit cards, ApplePay, Google Play, RFID card, Smart Phone App etc. for quick access
• OZEV LEVI and ORCS approved
• Integrated parking sensor detects nuisance parking
• Reservation function, with parking sensor ensures success
• Modular design optimises maintenance and gives us an operational uptime >99%
• Unique power and time based tariff increases utilisation and reduces the price the driver pays
• Features reduce traffic looking for charge points, hence pollution
• Optional WiFi, 5G antenna or air quality sensor integration
• Built in App navigation to charge point with live status
• Location AI program for efficient placement and rollout planning
• Installation and maintenance by local experienced certified contractors
• Qwello is on several EVCI frameworks including CCS RM6213 and the Oxford City Council EV DPS
• Second life EV batteries Grid reinforcement by sister company Forsa
• Qwello is fully funded by environmentally focused Tiger Infrastructure

Rightcharge
A few years back, as the UK’s electric vehicle market began to grow, our founder Charlie Cook was working with an innovative team to deliver exciting technology to new drivers, including the first ever energy tariffs tailored to the electric car owner. From there developed the Rightcharge mission to enable a world where choosing clean living is effortless, accessible and enduring.
Transportation is currently the highest emitting sector in the UK, responsible for a staggering 26% of greenhouse gas emissions. In response electric vehicles (EV’s) have emerged as a clear solution, running on electricity rather than using fossil fuels. As the planet warms up and companies are becoming more invested in their corporate social responsibility, switching from a petrol car fleet to an EV fleet is one of the best routes to cutting CO2 emissions and hitting our collective climate goals.
We want to make the transition from petrol fleet to EV fleet as painless as possible by simplifying your fleet’s charging process from both a practical and financial perspective:
· With access to the UK’s best public charging network with one card we can ensure smooth charging out of the road.
· You can pay for your drivers’ home charging by making one payment to Rightcharge, who then distributes funds to their home energy suppliers; employees are never out of pocket.
· Manage all your drivers’ electric vehicle charging in one dashboard, including public, workplace, and home charging.
· And if you get the right energy tariff then often it’s renewable energy you’re using to fill the kWh in your EV battery.
