Still the Russia vs Ukraine situation show how europe is vulnerable and dependent of gas from Russia and Africa. This will only give more leverage to external forces to influence european politics.
Just as with passenger cars, ICE trucks will become uneconomic, due to fuel and maintenance costs, before they run out of fossil fuel. The transition will be much faster than you might think. It will be well underway in ten years from now.

This year is the very first one when people were asked in some parts of europe to reduce their consumption and prepare for potential outages during winter. Depending on the geopolitics, things could improve or worsen. A nuclear plant do not get build in 6 months.
