The TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) is a strategic programme of the European Union aimed at developing an integrated, efficient and sustainable transport network across the continent.
It includes road, rail, river, sea and air infrastructure, as well as the multimodal terminals and hubs that connect them. The aim of the TEN-T is to facilitate the mobility of people and goods, reduce disparities between regions, and strengthen the EU’s economic competitiveness while promoting a transition to cleaner modes of transport.
The network consists of a comprehensive network and a core network, the latter of which is to be completed by 2030. In the context of electric mobility, the TEN-T plays a central role as it sets the network requirements for fast charging stations under the AFIR regulations, with a target of one station every 60 km on major routes.
