EHA hosted a seminar on the public procurement of clean vehicles in Brussels organized by the EU project Procura. The seminar featured the results of the Procura project that has been looking at lowering barriers with regards to the procurement of clean vehicles by public and private fleet owners. The project developed a fleet scan tool that assists fleet owners in calcultating cost and emission benefits of substituting conventional vehicles with cleaner alternatives. The responsible officer for the EU Commission proposal for a directive on the promotion of clean and energy efficient road transport vehicles, that has been approved by the EU Parliament, Franz Soeldner presented the Commission actions on this topic.
