The European Commission has launched a call for proposals worth €1.1 billion to build and modernise transport infrastructure on the EU’s trans-European transport network (TEN-T). This is the last such call under the current European long-term budget for 2021–2027.
The selected projects will support the implementation of major transport proposals. They will advance the EU’s high-speed rail plan and the Industrial action plan for the European automotive sector, while strengthening maritime connectivity, in line with the recently presented EU industrial maritime and ports strategies. The funding will also reinforce Europe’s defence readiness by addressing military mobility bottlenecks and supporting the swift implementation of the EU’s military mobility package.
The call places particular emphasis on rail, decarbonising maritime transport, and military mobility. It also supports the electrification of road haulage and airport ground operations, the deployment of charging infrastructure in maritime and inland ports, as well as the digitalisation of road transport.
Ukraine and Moldova are also included in the call under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), reflecting their deepening transport links with the EU.
CEF is the EU’s flagship instrument for funding and implementing the TEN-T policy. Projects selected under the 2026 call will help deliver smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable transport infrastructure; improve interoperability; and strengthen the resilience of transport networks across the EU.
