Matthew Baldwin is Deputy Director-General of DG ENERGY, formerly DDG in DG MOVE. From October 2018 to June 2022, he was European Coordinator for road safety and sustainable mobility. In June 2022 he was appointed to run the Task Force of the EU Energy Platform to diversify out of Russian gas, but he has kept up his keen, some would say obsessive, interest as a daily cyclist, and every summer holiday is a long, increasingly slow, bike trip. Most recently, in the summer of 2023, 1300 km from Brussels to Prague.
