The month in numbers

T&E: 5.6% share post-target vs 3.5% before · Milence: 4 BE hubs, tariff €0.379/kWh

Five things that mattered

The staircase became law. On 30 March the Council froze the −15% CO₂ target through 2029 and confirmed −45% from 2030. The cliff moved; the preparation window became visible.

Milence opened Ghent. Belgium’s fourth hub, next to Volvo’s factory at North Sea Port — anchor-tenant infrastructure, with MCS planned and Belgian tariff at €0.379/kWh.

T&E published the first CO₂-target scorecard. 5.6% electric share in the twelve months after July 2025; one in four e-trucks ever registered was sold in that single year. Targets move metal.

Daimler passed Volvo in e-truck sales. T&E’s manufacturer table has a new leader — the eActros 600’s delivery machine outran the field.

Einride got its fifth NHTSA nod. Autonomy kept converging with electrification — a USD 113M raise and a Texas testbed, while Europe debated targets.

What to watch next month

April’s infrastructure run: Venlo fully operational, Kuehne+Nagel at Immingham, and Volvo’s hydrogen-combustion road tests — pluralism returns.
