EU Transport Research and Innovation brief week 1 & 2, 2026
- CBAM Definitive Phase: On January 1, 2026, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism transitioned from "educational reporting" to strict financial liability, requiring importers to have a valid CBAM account number to avoid border blockages.
- FuelEU Maritime Verification: Shipping companies have entered their first mandatory verification window, with a January 31, 2026 deadline to submit 2025 fuel intensity reports or risk being banned from EU ports.
- Social Climate Fund (SCF) Launch: The SCF is now operational to buffer the impact of ETS2 carbon pricing for road transport, though fuel suppliers are already facing high administrative costs for emissions auditing.
- Digital Freight Transition (eFTI): January 2026 marks the start of the formal certification phase for eFTI platforms, beginning an 18-month countdown to the July 2027 mandatory digital data acceptance deadline.
- Infrastructure Funding Deadlines: Developers of heavy-duty charging networks face a critical March 4, 2026 deadline for CEF AFIF co-financing to address the current gap between vehicle readiness and grid connectivity.
