The paper reports on the forecasting and assessment methodology development carried out within the FANTASIE (Forecasting and Assessment of New Technologies and transport Systems and their Impact on the Environment) project of the Transport Research Programme of the European Commission (Fourth Framework Programme). The project was aimed at applying and implementing methods to assess the developments in transport technologies in the different sectors and the effects that these will have on Europe's future transport systems. The work represents a significant trial to set a comprehensive technology assessment practice at European level to support and aid in decision making regarding the Common Transport Policy (CTP) of the European Union (EU).
