Alternative Fuels Market Developments in Europe: 2025 Review and Early 2026 Signals – A European Alternative Fuels Observatory (EAFO) Webinar

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.
