ODS shortlisted for the Steve Berry Highways Authority Innovation Award
We’re proud to share that ODS was shortlisted at the Highways Awards 2025, which took place on Tuesday 23 September, for our project Moving towards an EV Fleet in Highways.
The Highways Awards are the industry benchmark for excellence – celebrating the projects, technologies, and people shaping the future of transport and infrastructure. To be recognised on this stage, alongside such strong competition, is a huge achievement for our team.
Our entry highlighted how we’re embedding sustainability into Oxford’s Zero Emission Zone by replacing fossil fuel-powered equipment with electric alternatives – already cutting an estimated 42 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Beyond carbon savings, our approach offers:
A scalable model for other cities
Future-proofing against stricter emissions standards
Leadership in sustainable urban maintenance
Long-term cost efficiency
"Congratulations to Community BlueScapes for winning the Steve Berry Highways Authority Innovation Award. ODS is proud to have been shortlisted alongside some of the best in the industry. This recognition reflects our team’s dedication, innovation, and commitment to building a more sustainable future."
