Utilization of alternative fuels in transport is promoted in many EU documents and regulations. A document which has an impact on the development of infrastructure for alternative fuels is the Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, which establishes a common framework for measures relating to infrastructure development of alternative fuels in the EU. The research problem, which is described in this paper, concerns the designing of the infrastructure network for alternative fuels in urban areas. Proposed research method and its versatility allows for use it to designing the infrastructure network both EV vehicles charging points and refuelling points for NGV vehicles in urban areas. The results obtained in the simulation experiments suggest the possibility of their use in development of national policy framework for actions in support development of the market of alternative fuels in Poland.

Keywords: alternative sources to power vehicles, alternative fuels market, network of refuelling and charging, PHEV/BEV vehicles, NGV vehicles.
