The European Commission is taking significant steps towards understanding and shaping the future of alternative fuels for heavy-duty vehicles.

In June 2024, Czechia saw a remarkable surge in the registration of new battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with over 1,500 new passenger BEVs hitting the roads. This unprecedented growth pushed the market share of BEVs to nearly 7%, both record highs for the country.
