Project Overview and Strategic Objectives

The launch of the VEEF (Vehicles Exclusively running on Eligible Fuels) pilot program in Spain in July 2026 marks a decisive shift toward a technology-neutral regulatory framework in the European automotive sector. As the industry navigates the complexities of the 2035 zero-emission mandate, this six-month initiative provides a high-fidelity demonstration of how high-performance internal combustion engines (ICE), when paired with 100% renewable fuels, can achieve deep decarbonization. By prioritizing "technology openness," the program challenges the binary focus on electrification, illustrating that renewable fuels offer a scientifically sound, Well-to-Wheel (WtW) pathway to carbon neutrality for both new and existing fleets.

The project is governed by a strategic consortium,  ...
