Today, the European Union (EU) is taking a significant step towards reducing emissions from road freight transport. The Commissioner for Transport and Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, presents the initiative for the corridors of clean transport, which aims to accelerate the installation of heavy professional cargo charging hubs along basic freight corridors. The initiative will begin with the Scandinavian -Mediterranean and Northern Sea -Baltic corridors as the first pilot cases.
The initiative for the Corridors of Net Transport, approved by nine Member States along the two transport corridors, will be highlighted during the signing ceremony of a ministerial statement on truck recharge infrastructures in Brussels. The statement sets out commitments to enhance cooperation and addressing key challenges, including time -consuming design and licensing processes, limited availability of installations, fragmented funding, inadequate network capacity and delays in access to electricity. It is both a common political commitment and a strategic guide to current and future truck recharging policies.
The Commission will continue to cooperate with the Member States to determine the measures through a roadmap and to expand the initiative to other corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-M), further supporting Europe’s transition to net road freight transport.
