Tech Talk video: What engineers can learn about decarbonisation from TfL
Promoting low-carbon design on transport projects
From bus electrification to improved procurement processes, there are multiple ways to make our transport systems more sustainable. In this Tech Talk, Jane Wright, who works across decarbonisation strategy and engineering at Transport for London, explores new solutions for the transport sector, debunking the myth that low-carbon design is expensive.
