AIMS OF TODAY’S
TRAINING WORKSHOP
THE CLEAN FLEETS TRAINING PACKAGE
 Clean Fleets developed this modular training package along with the
CVD toolkit to assist public authorities/ fleet operators with buying
clean & energy-efficient vehicles
 The focus is on the “Clean Vehicles” Directive 2009/33/EC. The aim is
to raise awareness on the implications of the CVD and provide
guidance on how it can be implemented
 The training covers both an overview of clean, energy efficient fuel and
technology types, the purpose and requirements of the CVD and
related legislation, procurement approaches to buying/ leasing/ letting
service contracts for vehicles and LCC
THE TRAIN THE TRAINER WORKSHOPS
To multiply the effect of the training package by:
 The provision of the Clean Fleets modular training
package and toolkit to organisations/ individuals who then
carry out training with public authorities/ transport
operators in their own country
 Creating a pool of experts in different European
countries able to carry out training on the implementation
of the CVD
 Enabling Knowledge Transfer between trainers from
different countries

MODULE 1: PURCHASING CLEAN VEHICLES
1.1 Motivations for clean vehicle procurement
– Climate impact, local air pollution, sustainable
urban mobility, fuel/energy security and prices,
leading by example
1.2 Cars and vans – Market availabilities of
various alternative fuel and technology types
1.3 Heavy duty vehicles – Market availabilities of
various alternative fuel and technology types, with
the principle focus on buses
MODULE 2: LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT
2.1 CVD: Introduction, scope, requirements
and options:
a. Tech specs
b. Award criteria
c. Operational Lifetime Costs (OLC)
2.2 A more in depth look at the CVD – Certain
points that may need to be clarified/ emphasised
2.3 Setting the Clean Vehicle Directive (CVD)
within its context – Other related European
and local legislation
MODULE 3: PROCUREMENT APPROACHES
3.1 Fleet management
3.2 Market engagement – Exploring available
options and building relationships with suppliers
3.3 To buy, lease.... or retrofit?
3.4 Tendering – Examples of how clean, energy
efficient vehicles can be achieved by using criteria at
various stages of the tendering process. The policy
background and other drivers are also discussed
3.5 Joint procurement – Central purchasing
organisations and public authority collaboration
MODULE 4: LCC
4.1 Life cycle costing (LCC) – Introduction and
overview of the definition of LCC, followed by a more
in-depth exploration of which factors should be
considered during the procurement of vehicles
4.2 Clean Fleets LCC tool – Introducing and testing
the Clean Fleets LCC tool, which incorporates
standard life cycle costing considerations with the
monetisation of emissions, as set out under the
Operational Lifetime Costs (OLC) methodology of
the CVD
