Revision of the TEN-T Regulation

CATF advocates for the revision of the TEN-T Regulation to prioritise transport decarbonisation through binding requirements for zero-carbon refuelling and recharging infrastructure. The organisation emphasizes the need for synergy between TEN-T and other legislative frameworks like TEN-E and AFID to ensure the successful deployment of hydrogen and electrification across European transport networks.

• To reach climate neutrality and decarbonise European transport, electrification and low and zero carbon fuels, specifically hydrogen and ammonia, are essential for reducing emissions from maritime vessels and heavy duty freight trucks.
• The transport sector is lagging in emissions decline, representing 24% of total EU emissions in 2017; the growth of alternative fuels vehicles is currently hindered by a lack of refuelling stations for zero-carbon fuels and recharging infrastructure.
• CATF recommends that the TEN-T Regulation include binding requirements and targets for Member States to ensure ultra-fast chargers and alternative fuels infrastructure cover both the core and comprehensive networks by 2025.
• There is a critical need for coherence and synergy between the TEN-T revision and other initiatives, including TEN-E, the Directive on deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFID), and FuelEU Maritime, to avoid delays in transport decarbonisation and the implementation of the Hydrogen Strategy.
• CATF supports the adoption of 'focus area 4', which integrates traditional infrastructure development with binding requirements for low/zero emission vehicles, improvements in infrastructure quality for climate resilience, and increased digitalisation and innovation.
