In 2017, road transport in the EU accounted for 93% of the total energy consumption of inland transportation. 94% of this consumption was based on fossil fuels. Europe aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to examine the possible scenarios to support the spread of using alternative fuel trucks including electrification by the wider range of hauliers in Hungary by analyzing the suggestions and applied best practices. Any solution to be applicable requires modifications to suit other countries; therefore, we present the role of supply/demand on the national market and transport policies in an international context. We also describe the characteristics of the available technologies and their challenges. Trucks use rest areas differently in time and location. Therefore, we examined driving patterns and rest periods based on the GPS data of the trucks and concluded with the charging infrastructure in Hungary also, from the point of view of integration into the European network, especially near the border crossings to avoid an oversupply of border charging points.
