The European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO), the European Commission's central platform for transparent and authoritative data on alternative fuels, vehicle uptake, and infrastructure deployment in Europe, is hosting a focused webinar on Thursday, 19 March 2026, at 12:30- 13.15 CET. This online session offers policymakers, industry stakeholders, researchers, and analysts a unique opportunity to explore key market behaviours shaping the decarbonisation of transport across the EU and neighbouring countries.

Agenda and Insights

The webinar will walk through recent developments and forward-looking signals across several critical areas:

• Introduction to EAFO and Webinar Objectives: Overview of EAFO's scope and how its data services support evidence-based clean mobility policy.
• Vehicle Market Developments (2025 & Early 2026 Signals): A comprehensive examination of trends in alternative fuel vehicle registrations and fleet evolution, showcasing how vehicle markets are shifting and what signals point to future uptake.
• Recharging and Refuelling Infrastructure Overview: Insights into the rollout of public recharging points and hydrogen refuelling stations throughout the EU, including trends in heavy-duty charging deployment and charging price evolution across Member States.
• Onshore Power Supply (OPS) in European Maritime Ports: Current status and planned installations of OPS systems in ports - a key enabler to reduce emissions from docked vessels and support maritime decarbonisation.
• Interactive Q&A and Discussion: A live session where attendees can engage directly with the EAFO consortium experts.

Why This Matters

As Europe advances towards its climate and energy targets, robust, up-to-date market data and trend analysis are essential for effective planning and investment. EAFO's data-covering vehicle registrations, infrastructure deployment, pricing comparisons, and more-serves as a cornerstone for policymakers, planners, and market players to design strategies that support the transition to alternative fuels and zero-emission mobility.
