TEN-T Funded Project
Electricity connection points Project
• Greening temperature controlled road transport through electricity
connection points at parking lots across European transport corridors
• Study with real life trial (40 locations)
• Deployment in eleven countries
• € 1,391,000 EU funding (50%)
Trans-European Network Transport (TEN-T)
Established by the European
Commission in 1996

Funding objectives
From Patchwork
To Network
CEF Transport
• The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Transport programme
aims to realise an efficient and sustainable transport network
to meet the ever increasing demands of the European
transport sector for both passengers and goods.
• The CEF additionally stimulates the transition to a
sustainable and integrated transport network.
• Projects that are aimed at (technological) innovations with
clear environmental benefits are stimulated, such projects
must reduce emission and allow for greater independence of
fossil fuels.

Funding objectives
• Removing bottlenecks and bridging missing links
• Ensuring sustainable and efficient transport in the long run
• Optimising integration and interconnection of modes
& enhancing interoperability
• In the current budget period of 2014-2020 priority is given
to cross-border projects and projects which aim at
ameliorating bottlenecks.
TEN-T Project Types
Studies
Three types of studies:
(A) Studies without deployment,
(B) Studies with regional or local pilot deployment in at least one
Member State
(C) Studies with deployment on a scale of a trajectory/corridor of at
least 500 km serving at least two Member States.
EU co-financing: 50% of eligible costs
Works
Execution and launching of an infrastructural project
EU co-financing: 20-30% of eligible costs
ECP project proposal
Study: to solve bottlenecks for large scale implementation of the ECP
network.
Resolve the lack of knowledge and data on performance on a European
scale, technical issues regarding harmonisation and standardisation.
The trial covers the main area of the temperature-controlled transport
network, and differentiates between the UK-Spain axis and the ItalyGermany-NL Axis.
The knowledge gained in this Action will allow to develop a roadmap
towards the deployment of a Pan-European open access network of ECPs
for temperature controlled transport.
ECP project proposal
• The overall objective of the Action is to support decarbonisation and
noise reduction of the Temperature- controlled truck transport in Europe
via the rapid deployment of an open access network of Electricity
Connection Points (ECPs).
• The ECPs are offered as a sustainable alternative for the current diesel
engines and supply electricity to the trucks during (un)loading and
resting periods.

Evaluation criteria
Relevance
• Contribution of the
Action to the TEN-T
priorities and it’s
objectives as well
as to the macro
socio-economic
benefits at EU level
and the need for
TEN-T support.
Maturity
• Is the project
ready to go?
Impact
Quality
• The potential
socio-economic
effects of the
Action (at the
micro level) as well
as the impact on
the environment.
• Soundness of the
project’s objectives
and project
management
process
Evaluation criteria
Relevance:
Contribution of the Action to the TEN-T priorities and it’s objectives as well as to the macro socio-economic
benefits at EU level and the need for TEN-T support.
• Reducing the dependence on fossil fuel, decreases emission levels, which helps prevent further
acceleration of climate change.
• The competitiveness of European conditioned road transport
will increase and economic growth will be stimulated.
• The network benefit of the Action has a European impact.
Evaluation criteria
Maturity:
Maturity refers to the status of preparation of the activities,
in particular the capacity to implement the Action in accordance
with the foreseen time plan and technical specifications.
In other words: is the project ready to go?
•
Proven technology
• Co-financing secured
• Development Consent
Evaluation criteria
Impact:
The potential socio-economic effects of the Action (at the micro level) as well as the impact on the
environment.
• The study gives an elaborated view on various parameters: technical, environmental, financial,
commercial and legal of the new service.
• The study results present a clear overview of the economic and environmental benefits of the Action.
The study outlines the benefits of the new service.
• The results will be the basis on which to persuade new temperature controlled road transport
companies, truck stops and transhipment places to join the network.
Evaluation criteria
Quality:
Soundness of the project’s objectives and
project management process
• Experience with EU funded projects (FP7)
• Experienced entrepreneurs with a network of relevant stakeholders
• Experience with developing innovative projects
aimed at promoting sustainability
