Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The 2014 Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive required EU countries to develop national policy frameworks (NPFs) for developing publicly available refuelling and recharging points for alternative fuel vehicles and vessels. The Directive aims to improve coordination of alternative fuel infrastructure development to provide the long-term security needed for investment in the technology for alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented a package of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, known as the Fit for 55 package. The package included the proposal to revise the 2014 Directive on alternative fuels infrastructure. The Commission proposed to repeal the directive and replace it with a regulation, suggesting that the the change of instrument is needed to ensure “swift and coherent development” of the infrastructure network across the EU. In the proposal, the Commission set a number of mandatory national targets for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in the EU, for road vehicles, vessels and stationary aircraft. For publicly available electric charging infrastructure for light duty road vehicles (cars and vans), the draft regulation set out mandatory national fleet based targets (e.g. for every battery electric light duty vehicle a total power output of at least 1 kW should be provided through publicly accessible recharging stations (a recharging station is defined as single physical installation at a specific location, consisting of one or more recharging points). It also set out distance-based targets for light duty and heavy-duty road vehicles on the TEN-T core and comprehensive network (e.g. publicly accessible recharging pools (one or more recharging stations) dedicated to light-duty vehicles should be deployed in each direction of travel with a maximum distance of 60 km in between them). It also required EU Member States to ensure a number of recharging stations are in place for heavy-duty vehicles in urban nodes. For hydrogen, the proposal required publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations to be deployed with a maximum distance of 150 km in between them along the TEN-T core and the TEN-T comprehensive network and at least one should be available in every urban node. As regards, electricity supply to vessels and stationary aircraft, the draft regulation set targets for the deployment of shore-side electricity supply for certain seagoing container and passenger ships in maritime ports and for inland waterway vessels, and for electricity supply to stationary aircraft at TEN-T core and comprehensive network airports. In the Parliament, the file has been referred to the Transport and Tourism Committee (TRAN). The rapporteur is Ismail Ertug (S&D, Germany).
Communication Activities: The 2nd edition of the SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) guidelines was made available to cities worldwide in 2019. Meanwhile, many national institutions have been working to translate the guidelines into their language – to make them even easier to use and to establish the concept of SUMPs in their own country. One of those countries is Germany.The CC-SUM (Centre of Competence for Sustainable Urban Mobility – State of Hessen) has been working intensively on disseminating the SUMP concept within and across the state of Hessen, supporting cities and municipalities in the development of a SUMP. CC-SUM coordinates various projects in the field of sustainable transport planning and thus generates knowledge resources and support services for Hessian municipalities. One example is the Interreg Europe project e-smartec (enhanced sustainable mobility with marketing techniques). You can find an overview of the activities of the CC-SUM on the <link https: www.fznum-hessen.de external-link-new-window external link in new>FZ-NUM website.In this context, the FZ-NUM have translated the core <link https: www.eltis.org sites default files german_sump_guidelines_high_quality.pdf external-link-new-window external link in new>SUMP guidelines and the <link https: www.eltis.org sites default files german_sump_decision_makers_summary_high_quality.pdf external-link-new-window external link in new>SUMP decision-maker’s Summary into German. These two central documents are complemented with a German version of the <link https: www.eltis.org sites default files sump_poster-german-2021-rgb.pdf external-link-new-window external link in new>SUMP poster. German decision-makers and planners are now supported even better in applying the concept of SUMP and establishing integrated planning practices.
