CEF Transport Military Mobility call 2026 expected
Our specialists expect that the European Commission will soon publish the new Military Mobility 2026 call under CEF Transport. This call focuses on improving civil and military infrastructure across the EU, with the aim of strengthening military mobility and readiness. Would you like to stay informed? Get in touch with our specialists to keep up to date.
Focus on dual-use infrastructure
The focus will once again be on adapting transport infrastructure for dual-use applications. This includes strengthening bridges, rail connections and logistics hubs so that they can be used for both civil and military purposes.
Examples of promising projects
Various types of projects are eligible under Military Mobility, provided they contribute to improving military mobility within the TEN-T network. Examples include:
- Reinforcement or replacement of bridges so they can support heavier military equipment
- Adaptation of rail infrastructure, such as platform extensions or track reinforcement for military transport
- Improvements to road connections and corridors for heavy and exceptional transport
- Upgrades to seaports and inland ports, including loading and unloading facilities for military equipment
- Adaptation of tunnels or locks to enable the transport of military equipment
- Digitalisation and traffic management systems to support logistics flows
An example project Verbrugge Zeeland Terminals
Verbrugge Zeeland Terminals (VZT) implemented a strategic rail expansion in Vlissingen, enabling goods and military equipment to be transferred directly from ship to train. This project, supported by CEF Transport Military Mobility, strengthens both civil logistics and military mobility within Europe. Thanks to the expansion, longer trains can be loaded more quickly and safely, contributing to more efficient transport, a modal shift from road to rail, and a more sustainable logistics chain. Hezelburcht supported VZT throughout the entire funding process, from application to final reporting.
Importance for the European transport network
Military Mobility is an important component of the CEF Transport programme and plays a crucial role in achieving a resilient and secure European transport network. For businesses, (semi-)public authorities and infrastructure managers, this call offers opportunities to combine infrastructure investments with European co-financing.
