News from Brussels
Today, the EU is taking a significant step towards reducing transport emissions from road freight. Commissioner for Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas presents the Clean Transport Corridor Initiative, which seeks to accelerate the deployment of heavy-duty vehicles recharging infrastructure across key freight corridors. The initiative will start with the Scandinavian-Mediterranean and North-Sea Baltic Corridors as the first test cases.
The Clean Transport Corridor Initiative, endorsed by nine Member States along the two transport corridors, will be highlighted at a signing ceremony of a Ministerial Declaration on truck recharging infrastructure in Brussels. The declaration sets out commitments to enhance cooperation and tackle key challenges, including lengthy planning and permitting processes, limited site availability, fragmented funding, insufficient grid capacity, and delays in electricity grid access. It represents both a joint political commitment and a strategic guide for current and future policies on truck recharging infrastructure.
The European Commission will continue working with the Member States to detail the measures in a roadmap and to expand the initiative to other Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors, further supporting Europe’s transition to clean road freight transport.
