Pedro joined POLIS in March 2022.
Pedro leads POLIS’ Clean Vehicles & Air Quality Working Group and is responsible for several key legislative topics, including the Fit for 55 package (AFIR, EPDB, and CO2 standards for cars and vans, among others), the Clean Vehicles Directive, CO2 standards for trucks and buses, Euro 7 type-approval regulation, and the revision of the Ambient Air Quality Directive. He is POLIS’ point of reference for the European Commission Sustainable Transport Forum, supporting the Commission's efforts on AFIR implementation, and is involved in several EU-funded projects in the area of sustainable transport, including eCharge4Drivers, SOLUTIONSplus, EAFO, SCALE, GIANTS, and LENS.
Before joining POLIS, he worked as a researcher in the Air Quality Group of the Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research (CENSE) at NOVA University, and later at the Local Energy Management Agency of Almada (AGENEAL) in the fields of energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation, and sustainable mobility. He holds an MSc in Environmental Management Systems and a BSc in Environmental Engineering.
