DeHavilland political intelligence for transport

Road

The automotive industry has lived through many regulations in the past years, when it comes to emissions, weights and dimensions, fuel mix and the second-hand market. It affects passengers, freight, logistics and the relevant infrastructure. Understanding these major political developments while focusing on the future of transport tech, from decarbonisation to automated vehicles, is paramount for any public affairs team.

DeHavilland’s personalised alerts keep you up to date with all the important developments in the EU Institutions and beyond, while our team of analysts extract the content that matters to you from legislation and policy updates. DeHavilland People also lists thousands of MEPs and EU officials, while our Legislation Tracker makes it easy for you to keep track of the progress of all legislative files.

Shipping

Maritime transport is central to Europe’s economy and the transportation of goods and passengers, but it is also at the centre of efforts to cut emissions. Building on adopted initiatives such as FuelEU Maritime and the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan, the EU is steering the transition to cleaner shipping through broader port and industrial strategies.

Our team makes sure you remain on top of all the relevant policy updates, while providing you with the opportunity to receive the information with the format and the timing that suit your schedule. DeHavilland’s in-house policy team provides additional resources and expertise across the sector including insight into the macro-political context we all operate in.

Aviation

The aviation sector is a strategically important sector for the EU economy, but it is often in the spotlight for its environmental costs.

From sustainability, emissions and the impact of the ICAO to the Single European Sky and passenger rights, DeHavilland tracks all major political updates. Our in-house experts work alongside you to understand your needs and goals, becoming an extension of your team. Real-time alerts make sure you stay ahead of the competition and allow you to avoid any unnecessary risk.

Rail

Rail policy is increasingly important in the EU’s decarbonisation agenda. New measures on infrastructure and connectivity, cross-border rail, freight, passenger rights, multimodality and digital mobility are all shaping the sector. DeHavilland’s cutting edge platform and in-house team of experts will keep you informed of how EU rail policy develops in real-time and give you the tools to influence its progress.

From identifying the right stakeholders at a European level, to providing the key points from the latest legislation and contextualising the rail industry within the broader Transport sector, DeHavilland keeps your public affairs strategy on track.
