Survey on the Future of Alternative Fuels for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

AF survey 2024 07

The European Commission is taking significant steps towards understanding and shaping the future of alternative fuels for heavy-duty vehicles. In a bid to collect comprehensive insights and data from the transport and energy sectors, as well as other relevant stakeholders, the Commission has launched a new survey aimed at informing future policymaking in this critical area.

The Focus of the Survey

The survey seeks to answer two primary questions:

  1. What is the current state of technology and market development in the deployment of alternative fuels for heavy-duty vehicles?
  2. How will the market and the technologies evolve until 2030?

Importance of the Survey

Heavy-duty vehicles are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. Transitioning to alternative fuels such as electricity, hydrogen, and biofuels is essential to achieving the EU's climate goals, including the ambitious target of reducing transport emissions by 90% by 2050 as part of the European Green Deal.

Call for Participation

The European Commission encourages all stakeholders in the transport and energy sectors to contribute their expertise and insights. By participating in this survey, stakeholders can help shape effective and informed policies that will drive the adoption of alternative fuels in the heavy-duty vehicle segment.
