Europe’s Alternative Fuel Instructure Regulation defines charging infrastructure developments EU Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), adopted in September 2023, specifies mandatory infrastructure requirements for all EU member states along the international TEN-T network. The regulation covers both Light Vehicle and Heavy Vehicle electric charging and hydrogen refuelling requirements. The regulation is part of the EU’s Green Deal ‘Fit for 55’ program.

Scope

*The core network includes the most important connections linking major cities and nodes, and must be completed by 2030. It needs to meet the highest infrastructure quality standards. The comprehensive network connects all regions of the EU to the core network and needs to be completed by 2050
