Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026: the winners!

Landor LINKS, sponsors and partners were delighted to announce the winners of the Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026 at a packed and lively gala lunch ceremony last Friday at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

The ceremony was hosted by Robert Llewellyn, actor, comedian and writer, famous for his media and event series Fully Charged/Everything Electric, as well as his roles in Scrapheap Challenge and the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf.

Glenn Lyons, Chair of the Decarbonising Transport Awards Judging panel, past president of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) and Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility, University of the West of England, said: 

“The Judges were very impressed by the number and quality of the submissions received.  

“Across the entries were stories of change that are collectively affecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. A few hundred here, a few thousand there; it all adds up! And change can be infectious.

“The broad range of winners was a reminder of the multifaceted nature of the decarbonisation journey, and also reminds us how many rising stars we have within the transport sector – the future’s bright!”
