Celebrating the people + projects accelerating decarbonisation

12.11.26 @ Warwick Conferences

in association with

Now in their fourth year, the Transport + Energy Awards recognise the projects, partnerships and people making genuine progress on transport decarbonisation.

Judged by a panel of named sector practitioners with no commercial interests and no sponsor influence, every entry is assessed on what it actually delivered, by people who know how difficult it is to drive change.

This year’s programme spans 15 categories covering the full breadth of the transition – from electric vehicles and fleet electrification to charging infrastructure, energy network innovation, grid technology and the people driving it forward.

Two new categories join for 2026: the Energy Network Innovation Project of the Year and the Quentin Willson campaign of the year award.

Winners are announced at the awards dinner on the evening of the Transport + Energy Forum, Thursday 12 November, in front of the councils, fleet managers, CPOs and energy network leaders who commission and procure across the sector.

Finalists and winners receive editorial coverage across T+E’s newsletter and social channels before, during and after the ceremony.
