EU ‘must not dilute’ low-carbon transport proposal
The European Parliament must not water down Commission proposals on infrastructure for electic vehicle charging and hydrogen refuelling, say industry groups

The EU is legislating on the issue in the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (Afir) proposal, part of its ‘Fit for 55’ package. The initial proposal from the European Commission set a target for the Trans-European Transport Network (Ten-T) to have 4mn charging points for BEVs with a capacity of 1kW and a hydrogen refuelling station every 150km for compressed hydrogen and every 450km for liquefied hydrogen.
