Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026 finalists announced

Winners will be revealed by sustainable technology advocate (and sometime android) Robert Llewellyn on 23 March

Achieving net zero is the biggest challenge facing the transport sector. The Decarbonising Transport Awards were created by Landor LINKS to recognise the individuals, teams, partnerships and innovations that are providing genuine leadership in order to reduce carbon across the transport sector.

There are 16 awards categories, organised into three sections:

• People & Teams Awards
• Category Awards
• Special Awards.

Landor LINKS can now reveal the finalists for the Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026.

The competition is supported by EVolution, which has a mission to raise awareness of low carbon, connected and shared mobility.

The jury's view

The finalists were selected by panel of independent judges, who impressed by the number and quality of the submissions received. The jury feel being listed as a finalist is an impressive achievement that reflects the strength and impact of entries in the inaugural year of the awards.

Glenn Lyons, chair of the Decarbonising Transport Awards judging panel is past president of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) and Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility, University of the West of England. He said: “Wow! There are so many change-makers out there who are part of the decarbonisation journey. When you add them all up there is a sense that through collective endeavour we can put all the pieces of the transport decarbonisation puzzle together – and the emerging picture is uplifting.

“Now, I’m not naïve enough to think that the sheer number of entries alone will change the world, but these are probably only the tip of the iceberg of what is going on nationally and internationally. And across the entries are 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 ceremony

The winners will be revealed at a gala lunchtime awards ceremony being held at the Royal Lancaster London on Friday 27 March.

The event will be hosted by actor, comedian and decarbonised transport advocate Robert Llewellyn. Besides his iconic role as Kryten the android in the classic sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf and as the host of the recycling-driven engineering show Scrapheap Challenge, Llewellyn created the Fully Charged YouTube channel, podcast and website, and the Everything Electric event. 

Further information about the Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026 and how to book places at the gala ceremony can be found on the event website.
