We are excited to stage the third edition of our industry awards which recognise and reward achievement in the transport and energy sectors.

With innovation, vision, passion and determination being demonstrated by individuals, companies and collaborations across the sectors, we are proud to recognise and celebrate them.

The pace and scale of innovation,  the crucial role of partnerships together with the rise of exceptional talent in this sector is reflected by the addition of four new awards for 2025, covering private sector fleet partnerships, outstanding charging sites and two new people awards, recognising the team of the year and individual impact.

We will present 13 awards, across categories which are relevant to all professionals from the sectors. 

Entering the awards elevates the company’s profile, recognising the teams, collaborators and stakeholders that make stand out projects possible and successful. Winners and finalists will benefit from the marketing campaign that we are co-ordinating across our channels prior to the awards evening, on the night and after the event.

The awards ceremony will take place on the evening of Transport + Energy Forum.
