European Parliament: new rules to speed up the decarbonisation of transport

Parlement européen décarbonisation transport

In terms of the number of charging points installed in France, according to the Avere-France barometerthe country had 101,681 recharging points open to the public to 30 June 2023, i.e. a increase of 57.4 % compared with the previous year. What's more, these charging points offer even higher and faster recharging power, particularly in the supermarkets like Lidl for example. If he starts having kiosks in supermarkets and other outletsWhat about on the motorways?

Decarbonising transport: what do the new rules say?

To speed up the decarbonisation of transport, Members of the European Parliament have introduced a number of rules to make it easier to recharge vehicles.

To apply these rules, here are 3 points on which MEPs wish to focus :

  • install ultra-fast recharging stations for cars every 60 km, for trucks and buses every 120 km and hydrogen refuelling stations every 200 km,
  • make recharging simpler by making it possible to use recharging points without having to pay a subscription fee,
  • supply more marine fuels for container ships and passenger vessels


On the first point, MEPs concluded that charging stations will therefore be installed all 60 km on motorwaysThese will be available for cars. Recharging power will be at least 400 kW by 2026, rising to 600 kW by 2028. With these recharge powers, electric cars with an 800-volt architecture will be able to recharge in around fifteen minutes. This will be a real treat for drivers who make long journeys. long-distance family travel or for business travel. Whatever the electric vehicle, the ultra-fast charging points will be installed on motorways in the TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) network. These new regulations accompany a ban on the sale of internal combustion vehicles (diesel and petrol) from 2035 with the aim ofEurope to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

The electric trucks and buses will also have recharging stations at their disposal, deployed every 120 km and installed on half of the European Union's major roadsby 2028. In terms of electrical power, the terminals will supply between 1,400 and 2,800 kW, depending on the route. As a reminder, several regulations have been put in place to achieve the "Fit for 55" objective, i.e. to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 55 % by the year 2030.

Hydrogen vehicle charging stations?

The layout of the charging points has not only been designed for electric motors. Finding charging points on Europe's motorways will also be easy for hydrogen-powered vehicles.

So, under the so-calledAfir"Under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the European Commission wants charging stations to be available by 2030 throughout Europe every 200 km along the TEN-T core network.

How will I pay for my top-up?

Payment for recharging will also be simplified. Motorists will no longer need to have a subscription to recharge their vehicle and pay for the recharge, specifically for drivers of alternative fuel vehicles. This will happen directly at thet via bankcard or contactless device.

With regard to recharge priceA "database" will be set up to display prices per kWh, per kg or per minute/session. The database will also show the availability of recharging points and waiting times.

What about shipping?

Regulations have also been adopted for greener marine fuels. As with road transport, maritime transport will have to gradually reduce its GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions on the energy already used, i.e. :

  • of 2% by 2025
  • of 80 % by 2050

According to the European ParliamentThese regulations should apply to sea transport of up to 5,000 tonnes gross tonnage.

So we can see that in order to reach the target, measures are gradually being put in place, that several regulations have been devised and others are under way to speed up the energy transition and achieve carbon neutrality within the timeframe set by the European Commission.
