EU injects millions into green transport

Funding, delivered through the Connecting Europe Facility, targets major upgrades to port infrastructure, airports and road networks, with a strong focus on port decarbonisation, port electrification and the deployment of alternative fuels to cut emissions across the trans-European transport network.

“We are currently supporting 70 projects with €600 million in EU funding to accelerate the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure across Europe,” said Apostolos Tzitzikostas, EU Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism.

“These investments will strengthen our competitiveness and help make the transition to zero-emission mobility easier and more accessible for all citizens.”

Future proofing

The supported projects are located across Europe. They include 24 ports which will receive funds to deploy onshore power supply and invest in ammonia bunkering infrastructure.

These measures will help the sector transition to renewable and low-carbon fuels, which is a priority supported by the recent EU Sustainable Transport Investment Plan.

Meanwhile, the network of publicly available charging points along the TEN-T will grow by over 500 locations with the introduction of new charging infrastructure for lorries, including megawatt chargers.

Europe’s transport network will be electrified through the installation of more than 1000 electric recharging points for light-duty vehicles with a capacity of 150 kW.

Meanwhile, 2000 new recharging points for heavy-duty vehicles will deliver a capacity of 350kW and 586 recharging points with a 1 MW power output.

The hydrogen economy will also be boosted through the installation of 38 hydrogen refuelling stations for cars, trucks and buses. 

These awards have been selected under the second cut-off of the 2024-2025 AFIF call which closed on 11 June 2025.
