During the Tour d’Europe, ICE light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles are travelling across 20 EU countries between February and June 2025, with a number of stops in selected cities. Local events hosted by policymakers (European, national or local) are held in strategic places to promote the role of renewable fuels and engage with relevant media.

The tour will conclude on June 23 at the European Parliament in Brussels with the presentation of a report summarizing the project’s main findings.
