⚡ It’s time to Electrify London ⚡

On 7 May 2026, 1800+ borough councillors will be elected, responsible for 95% of London’s roads & kerbsides. We’re launching Electrify London to push them to be bolder on the transition to cleaner, greener electric vehicles.

We took to the streets in Milan and Rome to demand more funding for public transport! 🚌 🚋 #MindTheGap

Over the last five years in Italy, funding for buses, trams, and the metro has dropped by €4 billion due to inflation.

🎁 📦 Every gift travels a path before it reaches its destination.

Cities, retailers and delivery companies can make that journey less polluting - through zero-emission vehicles, optimised routes, parcel lockers and micro-hubs.

Thoughtful gifts deserve thoughtful deliveries.

🚗⚡ Shared electric mobility helps cut car ownership, reduce emissions, and make more efficient use of road space.

Yet policy conditions in London make it difficult for car-sharing operators to thrive, leaving it lagging behind other European cities.

🚦 Road transport remains the only major mode in Europe without a dedicated EU safety authority.

Establishing an EU Road Safety Agency would help move the EU closer to zero deaths on our roads, particularly as automated vehicles become more widespread.

🛑 Is this the future of Europe’s town centres?

Massive 🇺🇸 pick-up trucks are already squeezing onto our streets. But EU-US trade talks could open the floodgates.

Here’s why "Mutual Recognition" is a disaster for road safety. 🧵

😮 On average, European cities have double the local public transport offering of major Italian cities and five times the kilometres of rapid mass transit (metro, trams, trolleybuses).

443 children are injured on the school run in London every year.

That's equivalent to an entire primary school of children 😱, and 16% of these injuries are serious.

London’s children deserve safer streets. We need #StreetsForKids.

💬 "The Dutch experience proves that when governments get policy right, the market responds fast."

The Netherlands’ pioneering zero-emission zones for freight are fast-tracking the shift to electric delivery trucks and vans - and the results speak for themselves 👇

⚡🚲 Can e-cargo bikes replace cars for daily trips?

In suburban trials in the UK, households loaning e-cargo bikes rode 38-42km a week, with over half of trips replacing car journeys.

Habits can change quickly when people are given the chance to try 🙏

The Mayor has made changes to the Congestion Charge.

Pleased to see the Cleaner Vehicle Discount will continue to incentivise the uptake of greener electric vans, but small businesses and charities need more support to go electric, not new charges. #ElectrifyLondon

More and more school streets are popping up - and the results speak for themselves! When we give streets back to people instead of cars, everyone benefits 💚

🌍 It’s #WorldCitiesDay, a good moment to ask: how well are our cities designed for children?

We ranked 36 European cities on how they prioritise kids’ safety in urban transport - from safe speeds to school streets and bike lanes.

🚲 “Anything that other handymen carry in their vans, I guarantee I can carry in my bike.”

From plumbers to electricians, more and more small businesses are ditching vans for cargo bikes - it’s cleaner, quicker, and makes perfect sense for city logistics.
