Discover the programme
The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for Transport helps build new or upgrade existing transport infrastructure across Europe. It focuses on cross-border projects and projects aiming at removing bottlenecks or bridging missing links.
CEF Transport also supports traffic management systems, innovation, reducing the environmental impact, enhancing energy efficiency and increasing safety of transport. High-power electricity recharging stations and hydrogen refuelling stations are being deployed through the alternative fuels infrastructure facility. Military mobility projects upgrade key transport infrastructure to make it fit for both civilian and defence purposes.
Through EU funded projects, CEF transport contributes to the completion of the core network and comprehensive network, which are policy objectives of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).

CINEA visited Amsterdam for the final mission of the ‘Zero Emission Buses for public transport in Amsterdam’ project, funded by CEF transport. Completed in December 2024, the project deployed 128 zero-emission buses and 160 charging points at various key locations throughout the city.
The first ECHOES demonstrator, the IOD-1 satellite, is now in orbit. Equipped with a powerful VHF antenna and an ADS-B surveillance system, it aims to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time communications between air traffic controllers and aircraft using signals transmitted from space.
With this selection, the AFIF will support approximately 2,500 electric recharging points for light-duty vehicles and 2,400 for heavy-duty vehicles along the European TEN-T road network, 35 hydrogen refuelling stations for vehicles, and more.
CINEA received 258 applications requesting over €9.5 billion in co-funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Transport by the call deadline of 21 January 2025. It is nearly four times more than the €2.5 billion budget available for the 2024 CEF Transport calls for proposals.
