Infrastructure

Electric mobility based on batteries or fuel cells requires demand-oriented charging and refuelling infrastructure. With the AFIR (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation), the EU has set binding targets for its expansion.

We support the development of the hydrogen network and work closely with organisations and associations involved in defining rules and standards. The National Centre for Charging Infrastructure coordinates activities to expand charging infrastructure in Germany on behalf of the BMV. It supports planning, implementation and funding measures.

To better understand actual demand, the Centre collects relevant data, connects key stakeholders and shares its expertise. User needs are always at the centre of its work. How far has the expansion progressed, and where does further action remain necessary? These insights are made available through the StandortTOOL.

On behalf of the BMV, the National Centre for Charging Infrastructure, under the umbrella of the federally owned NOW GmbH, coordinates and controls activities for the expansion of charging infrastructure in Germany. We provide support for planning, implementing and promoting the charging infrastructure.

The German Federal Government has defined binding greenhouse gas emissionreductions in the Federal Climate Change Act. To achieve this goal, renewable fuels play a decisive role, as not every application in transport can be electrified. The overall concept for renewable fuels of the Federal Ministry for Transport (BMV) comprises four funding measures that support both the further development and the market ramp-up of renewable fuels.

In order to achieve the Federal Government’s climate protection targets, around one third of the mileage in heavy goods road transport is to be electric by 2030. With the overall concept of climate-friendly commercial vehicles, the BMV is setting the course for this. This page accompanies the implementation of the overall concept.

Electricity-based fuels are not yet produced in marketable quantities. The aim of the PtL roadmap is therefore to significantly increase and expand the production of PtL kerosene produced from renewable electricity in Germany in the coming years.

The focus of this website is on the international and national regulations, implementing regulations and standards (Regulations, Codes and Standards, RCS) for hydrogen and fuel cell technology in the field of mobility.
