Clean transport for all
We are increasing the pace of the energy transition
What we do
We are increasing the pace of the clean energy transition with a focus on road transport - one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases and air pollution.
We use data to tell persuasive stories, informing the public and influencing policy development. We help people understand how they can benefit from the biggest revolution in personal transport since the time of Henry Ford.
Who we are
New AutoMotive is an independent transport research organisation founded in 2020 with a mission to support the switch to electric vehicles.
We use data to promote the benefits of a rapid transition to electrified transport. Our data-led research helps governments, manufacturers and entrepreneurs navigate the transition to electric vehicles.
Our vision
More electric cars on the road means more drivers free from ever-rising fuel costs. It means cities where people can move and people can breathe. Electric cars are key to managing climate risk. But the transition to electric vehicles is not happening fast enough. We exist to find ways to speed it up the world over.
Strategic Partners
To amplify our impact and influence, New AutoMotive collaborates with organisations and initiatives across the globe.
We are supported by a dynamic network of strategic allies who are aligned with our vision of achieving zero-emission road transportation. Together we work on shaping guidelines, driving development and spearheading impactful projects.
The following organisations help facilitate our work:
Our work also involves collaborating with partner organisations to heighten awareness of our mission and achieve shared goals.
These include:
Where do you get your funding?
We mainly receive funding from foundations with an interest in climate change.
As a Community Interest Company we can engage in more traditional forms of commercial activity and will do this where we think this is helpful for the transition. For example, we may receive referral fees where we direct someone to a supplier of Electric Vehicles as this both helps someone make the shift and provides income we can use to promote EV use more broadly. In all cases, income received is converted back into activities supporting our core mission rather than being converted into profits for shareholders.

Our approach
We believe the way to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles is to take a decisions based on evidence and which considers the needs of consumers.
Data DNA
Our data-led research helps governments, manufacturers and entrepreneurs make the best policies and options available to consumers.
Consumer centric
The speed of the transition depends on the decisions consumers make every day, in car showrooms and online on car dealership websites. For this reason, understanding the needs of people trying to get from A to B is vital. We operate several consumer products in the UK to complement our research into the global transition to electric vehicles.
Influencing Policy
Our data is used by policymakers to create evidence-based ambitious policies that drive forward the transition to clean, electrified transport.
