Automatiséiert Fueren 2028: the Luxembourg Strategy for Automated Driving

Created on 10 December, 2025

Luxembourg has adopted an ambitious national strategy for automated and connected driving, with the clear ambition of becoming the first European country to enable its deployment across the entire territory by 2028. This vision is part of a broader transformation agenda focused on innovation,
sustainability, and competitiveness.

Through this strategy, Luxembourg aims to position itself as a leading European competence centre, leveraging its strengths: an advanced digital ecosystem, an agile governance, a strong capacity for experimentation and a culture of crosssectoral cooperation. The goal is clear: to position automated
driving as a catalyst for economic diversification, the creation of skilled jobs, and an improved quality of life.

The goal is clear: to position automated driving as a catalyst for economic diversification, the creation of skilled jobs, and an improved quality of life.

The strategy is built around six strategic pillars, aligned with the “Accelerating Digital Sovereignty 2030” initiative: governance and regulation, skills and talent, infrastructure and ecosystems, research and innovation, support services, and international cooperation. Its implementation is overseen by a dedicated interministerial committee, ensuring a transversal, coherent, and participatory approach.

Five priority use cases have been identified for a gradual and
controlled rollout:

1. Motorway chauffeur, for safer and potentially smoother
   driving on major roads.
2. Robotaxis, offering on-demand, driverless transport
   services.
3. Last-mile automated shuttles, integrated into public
   transport networks.
4. Valet parking and restricted-access sites, automating
   manoeuvres in controlled environments.
5. Automated logistics, addressing freight transport
   challenges.
   

The strategy also places strong emphasis on skills development, supporting the training of technical, scientific, and operational profiles, and fostering synergies between public research, industry, and innovative start-ups. Dedicated programmes, living labs, and test environments will accelerate innovation and validate technologies from restricted sites to real-world conditions.

Connectivity, data management, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence have been identified as key technological pillars. Luxembourg is committed to ensuring a clear, adaptive, and secure regulatory framework, while safeguarding personal data and digital trust.

Finally, the strategy fully integrates societal and environmental dimensions. It aims to enhance road safety, promote inclusive and shared mobility, and mitigate rebound effects, including those related to energy consumption. Social acceptance is central to the approach, with awareness campaigns, dialogue, and co-creation initiatives engaging all stakeholders.

This strategy serves as a comprehensive and structured roadmap, inviting every reader to explore the thematic chapters to better understand the challenges, opportunities, and concrete actions shaping the future of automated mobility in Luxembourg.
