On the same day, UETR Secretary General Marco Digioia took part in a panel discussion at the European Conference on Energy Transition in Brussels, organised by ESPORG, stressing that the energy transition in road transport depends on accessible infrastructure. Safe and secure parking areas should evolve into energy hubs that support alternative fuels, electric charging, and future transport services. For operators, predictability, affordability, and interoperability are critical.
The Green Parking Standard and certification process help by providing clear standards that guide planning and investment. Key priorities include expanding charging and alternative fuel infrastructure, establishing supportive financial and regulatory frameworks, and ensuring that implementation reflects drivers’ real-world needs.
Overall, the transition must be practical and economically viable, supported by targeted assistance for companies and collaboration across the supply chain.
