The T&E Berlin Office – established in October 2020 – promotes sustainable transport in Germany and Europe. It is our goal to decarbonise the transport sector while at the same time researching and communicating the opportunities for our climate, air quality and our economy.
We commission and publish original research while at the same time facilitating dialogue and discussions between German decision makers, civil society and industry to accelerate the transition to cleaner transport.
