Road safety: 20,640 people died in a road crash last year – progress remains too slow (27/10/2023)

The 20,640 deaths on EU roads in 2022 represented a 4% increase in relation to 2021, as traffic levels recovered after the pandemic. While the underlying long-term trend is downward (-9% compared to pre-pandemic year), it is not decreasing at a fast enough pace to reach the EU target of halving the number of deaths by 2030.

Rail transport: New harmonised EU standards to support cross-border rail (15/09/2023)

Too often, national rules still force trains to stop at borders when going from one EU country to another. To eliminate the need for such national rules, we have published a package of revised technical standards to improve rail interoperability across borders – the ‘Technical Specifications for Interoperability’ (TSIs).

Single European Sky: New framework for interoperability rules (15/09/2023)

The Commission has adopted a set of rules to better manage the interoperability of the provision of air traffic management (ATM) and air navigation services (ANS). The new framework will increase interoperability, make the performance of ATM ground equipment more uniform, and support the introduction of innovative technologies. Ultimately, this will lead to a more modern European ATM network.

European Green Deal: FuelEU Maritime and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulations adopted (15/09/2023)

We welcome the final approval of the FuelEU Maritime Regulation and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The FuelEU Maritime rules will ensure that the greenhouse gas intensity of fuels used by the shipping sector gradually decreases over time, while AFIR will increase the deployment of recharging and refuelling stations for alternative fuels.

Figure of the month 15/09/2023 (15/09/2023)

The Commission has announced the 26 projects from 12 Member States that will receive some €352 million in EU grants to install alternative fuels infrastructure along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). The funding from the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) will translate into approximately 12,000 charging points, 18 hydrogen refuelling stations, and the electrification of ports and airports.

Green Deal: Greening freight for more economic gain with less environmental impact (17/07/2023)

On 11 July, the European Commission proposed measures to make freight transport more efficient and more sustainable. The measures improve rail infrastructure management, offer stronger incentives for low-emission lorries, and provide clearer information on freight transport greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to increase efficiency within the sector, helping it to contribute to the European Green Deal target of cutting transport emissions by 90% by 2050, while allowing the EU single market to continue growing.

Figure of the month (18/07/2023)

European Green Deal: new law agreed to cut aviation emissions by promoting sustainable aviation fuels (28/04/2023)

The Commission welcomes the political agreement on the ReFuelEU Aviation proposal, reached this week between the European Parliament and the Council. Once in place, the new rules will help decarbonise the aviation sector by requiring fuel suppliers to blend sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) with kerosene in increasing amounts from 2025. This measure on its own is projected to reduce aircraft CO2 emissions by around two-thirds by 2050 compared to a ‘no action' scenario, and provide climate and air quality benefits by reducing non-CO2 emissions.

European Commission proposes updated requirements for driving licences and better cross-border enforcement of road traffic rules (31/03/2023)

The European Commission presented proposals to modernise driving licence rules, including the introduction of a digital driving licence valid throughout the EU, and new provisions to facilitate the enforcement of traffic rules across borders. More than 20,000 lives were lost on EU roads last year and the majority of victims were pedestrians, cyclists and users of scooters and motorbikes. The new rules will improve safety for all road users, and will help the EU achieve its Vision Zero – having no deaths on EU roads by 2050.

European Green Deal: ambitious new law agreed to deploy sufficient alternative fuels infrastructure (31/03/2023)

The European Commission welcomed the political agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council to boost the number of publicly accessible electric recharging and hydrogen refuelling stations across the European Union's main transport corridors and hubs. This is a landmark agreement that will enable the transition to zero-emission transport and contribute to our target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The new Regulation for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR) sets mandatory deployment targets for electric recharging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. This Regulation will end consumer concerns about the difficulty to recharge or refuel a vehicle, and also paves the way for a user-friendly recharging and refuelling experience, with full price transparency, common minimum payment options and coherent customer information across the EU.

Connecting Europe by train: 10 EU pilot services to boost cross-border rail (20/02/2023)

The European Commission announced it will support 10 pilot projects to establish new rail services or improve existing ones. Together, they will improve cross-border rail connections across the EU, making them faster, more frequent and more affordable. The proposals were submitted by the rail sector and relevant authorities in response to the Commission’s Action Plan to boost long-distance and cross-border passenger rail, adopted in December 2021. The Action Plan identified obstacles hindering the uptake and operation of cross-border passenger rail services, and measures to address them. One of these measures is the pilot services, which will help railway operators and authorities to break down remaining barriers in practice, with the support of the Commission.

Road safety in the EU: fatalities below pre-pandemic levels but progress remains too slow (20/02/2023)

The European Commission yesterday published the preliminary figures on road fatalities for 2022. Around 20,600 people were killed in road crashes last year, a 3% increase on 2021 as traffic levels recovered after the pandemic. This represents however 2,000 fewer fatalities (-10%) compared with the pre-pandemic year 2019. The EU and UN target is to halve the number of road deaths by 2030. EU-wide, road deaths in 2022 rose by 3% on the previous year, not least as traffic levels recovered levels following the pandemic. Importantly, many of the gains achieved during the COVID-19 period (including a fall of 17% between 2019 and 2020) have not been lost. Compared with 2019, the number of deaths in 2022 fell by 10%.

The European Commission is speeding up the financing of 35 military mobility projects to support the transport of troops and equipment along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T). With a budget increased from €330 million to €616 million, these projects will help European armed forces to respond better, more rapidly and at a sufficient scale to crises erupting at and outside the EU's external borders. As presented in the Action Plan on Military Mobility 2.0, the projects will support Member States and partners to develop a well-connected and secure military mobility network.

27km (17/01/2023)

The EU-wide survey on passenger mobility showed that, on average, EU citizens travelled 27 km per day, for an average duration of 80 minutes. The predominant means of transport in 2021 was the car, which was used for almost half of all trips. Excluding trips made by car, walking is the most popular way of moving around in most of the EU, with the Netherlands as a notable exception, where cycling is more popular. New mobility forms are gaining traction: ride-hailing (23%) and ride-sharing (12%) are attracting the most users, however they are generally used on an occasional basis.
