They are committed to: - Exchanging information & experience, participating in research programmes and further developing and enhancing the direct “user/payer” toll system as an instrument of a sustainable, safe and environmentally friendly transport policy. - Strengthening the efficiency of their networks and permanently improving the level of services provided to the European citizens, by keeping up with the latest technology developments and the best operational practices. - Preparing mobility solution of the future reaching zero carbon objective and zero road fatalities. It has 4 Permanent Committees (COPER) & Chairs are: COPER I (tolling/concessions) - Pedro Pinto COPER II (road safety/sustainability) - Emanuela Stocchi COPER III (innovation/technology) - Wolfgang Gritzner COPER IV (statistics) - Alenka Kosic
EU Legislative Interests
Activities in 2025 and to be pursued in 2026: Ensuring that the interests and positions of ASECAP and its members are taken on board into the EU Study on EETS Providers Remuneration. Monitoring the implementation of the following EU pieces of legislation: - Taxonomy - EU Regulation on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (AFIR) - Eurovignette Directive - EU Directive on Road Infrastructure Safety Management (RISM) - ITS Directive - Commission’s Proposed Text on Heavy Vehicle Classification and CO2 Tolling - EU Directive 2023/959 amending the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) Keeping a close eye of the potential impact of those EU legal texts on: - work and activities of the toll motorway operators - existing concession contracts - CO2 emissions-based tolling Cybersecurity Radio Frequency: ASECAP has been confirmed as a member of the expert group on radio equipment set up by DG GROW. The group is working to protect DSRC Tolling, existing C-ITS deployments based on ITS-G5, and smart tachograph enforcement from attempts to remove protection mechanisms for the 5.9 GHz spectrum. Additionally, ASECAP has initiated dialogues with public transport operators (EMTA, OCA, and UITP) to find common ground, as these operators also have services in the 5.9 GHz spectrum. ITS: ASECAP has been appointed to the new EU ITS Advisory Group.

The report was disseminated and promoted widely among EU institutions, other external stakeholders, media, etc. ASECAP-supported Euractiv report on “Cleaner EU mobility, accelerating across bumpy political terrain": this report is a series of articles explores how EU policymakers, national road operators, and academic experts are shaping strategies to accelerate road decarbonisation – ensuring that climate ambition translates into sustainable, equitable, and economically sound transport solutions. The articles converge on a clear message: stable, well-structured concession frameworks are essential to sustain road infrastructure, support decarbonisation based on user/polluter pay principles supported by the European Commission.
