EU Commission reaches provisional deal to boost CV charging infrastructure across Europe

EU Parliament

Belgium – Last month saw the European Commission (EC) and members of the European Parliament reach provisional agreement on the Alternative Fuels and Infrastructure Regulation Act, a key tenant of the European Union’s (EU) policy to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector. Under the agreement, charging stations for Commercial Vehicles (CVs) will be placed every 120km along main highways of EU member state countries by 2028, whilst hydrogen refuelling stations will be installed at least every 200 km by 2031.

Under the deal, each EU member state must commit to a mandatory minimum infrastructure target, presenting the European Commission with a roadmap to reach its goal. Before becoming law, this provisional agreement is now subject to formal approval by the two co-legislators as well as EU member states.
