🚛 The pace set by regulation does not always match the reality on the ground.

ACEA is calling for a 5-year postponement of Euro 7 brake-emission requirements for heavy-duty vehicles, arguing that several testing procedures and compliance methodologies are still not fully finalised or validated.

The association is also asking for a 2-year postponement of the general Euro 7 application dates for trucks and buses.

Beyond Euro 7 itself, this highlights a broader challenge for the transport sector: the transition is moving forward, but implementation may take more time than initially expected when regulation, technology and operational reality do not progress at the same pace.

For fleet operators, this makes long-term planning increasingly complex.

🚛 Truck tolls in Europe have risen by around 20% since 2023.

According to IRU, tolling rules changed almost every month somewhere in Europe during 2026, with a clear trend towards more kilometre-based charging and greater differentiation based on CO₂ emissions.

For transport operators, this means that fuel is increasingly only one part of the equation.

Road charges, vehicle characteristics, emissions class and the countries crossed can all have a growing impact on the real operating cost of a fleet.

Another reason why comparing vehicles and mobility energy solutions requires looking at the full operational picture.

Fuel prices are not the only thing going up. Truck tolls in Europe have risen by around 20% since 2023, directly impacting transport costs and operators' bottom lines. Toll regimes changed almost every month across the EU in 2026, and early 2027 looks to be just as busy. The trend is clear: more kil...

🟠 A new enerdrive dashboard is here.

Designed to make important information easier to identify from the moment users log in, the new dashboard offers a clearer and more dynamic overview of what deserves attention.

With redesigned widgets, more interactive views and easier access to detailed information, users can move more naturally from a global overview to the data and actions that matter to them.

The objective remains the same: make mobility energy management simpler, clearer and more efficient in everyday use.

Another step forward in the continuous evolution of enerdrive.

🚛 Belgium’s kilometre charge will evolve again from 1 January 2027.

New rates will apply across the three Regions, with different approaches:

• Flanders: rate indexation and higher infrastructure charges for zero-emission trucks
• Wallonia: indexation based on the August 2026 consumer price index
• Brussels: no general indexation, but higher charges for zero-emission trucks

For zero-emission vehicles in Flanders and Brussels, the infrastructure component was fully exempted in 2024-2025, reduced by 80% in 2026 and will only be reduced by 60% in 2027. In practice, this means these vehicles will pay a larger share of the infrastructure charge next year.

Another reminder that fleet operating costs are becoming increasingly dependent on vehicle type, emissions class and region.

For transport companies, comparing mobility energy solutions increasingly means looking beyond energy prices alone.

⚡ A recent study suggests that electric trucks may already offer a lower TCO than diesel in several major European markets, including Belgium. But the conclusion deserves some context.

As TLV points out, TCO calculations do not always capture the full operational reality. Financing, charging infrastructure, vehicle utilisation, routes and day-to-day constraints can all significantly influence the outcome.

Each operation has its own context, constraints and energy needs, and these factors remain essential when comparing mobility energy solutions.

Europe’s truck manufacturers are calling for an adjustment to the 2030 CO2 compliance timeline.

According to ACEA, the main challenge is not vehicle availability, but the conditions required for zero-emission trucks to be adopted at scale.

Today, zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles still represent a limited share of new registrations, while charging infrastructure, grid access, energy costs and other supporting conditions continue to develop.

ACEA therefore considers that the 2030 timeline should be reassessed to better reflect the actual pace of deployment across the market.
A useful reminder that the transition depends not only on vehicle technology, but also on the broader ecosystem around it.

A concrete example of the multi-energy transition in heavy transport.

Colruyt Group is moving forward with hydrogen trucks while electric trucks are also gaining ground in the market.

Rather than opposing technologies, this illustrates something we have been saying for a long time: different mobility energies will continue to coexist depending on the use case, range, infrastructure and operational constraints.

For heavy transport in particular, the transition is unlikely to follow one single path.

This project is a good example of that reality taking shape in Belgium.

European road freight rates are rising sharply, but not because demand is booming.

The latest IRU x Upply x Transport Intelligence benchmark shows a clear contrast in Q2 2026:
• Contract rates: +15.2 points year on year
• Spot rates: +13.9 points
• Road freight volumes: -1.6% year on year
• Average EU diesel price: €1.94/l, up 27%

The key message is clear: volumes are beginning to stabilise, but the rise in freight rates is mainly being driven by higher operating costs, with diesel playing a major role.

A strong indication of the cost pressure currently facing European road transport.

The European commercial vehicle market returned to growth in the first half of 2026.

New registrations increased by:

• 1.9% for vans

• 9.8% for trucks

• 22.7% for buses

The transition between energy types remains gradual.

Diesel still represented 79.1% of new van registrations and 92.1% of new truck registrations. At the same time, electrically-chargeable registrations continued to grow, reaching 13.2% of the van market, 4.8% of the truck market and 27.7% of the bus market.

These figures show a market in transition, with different technologies progressing at very different speeds depending on the vehicle segment and its operational requirements.
