6Previous Events
- First Compro Workshop
- Clean Technologies for Buses
- 4 March 2008 Nantes
- 90 participants attended the workshop to exchange
around innovative experiences and projects in the
field of clean buses. - From main European bus manufacturers to European
major cities experimenting new projects of public
transport or flagship organisations in the field
of environment or transport (the UITP, Transdev,
the French national agency for environment) many
speakers had come to share their experiences and
vision of the future of clean buses in general
and CNG and hybrid technologies in particular. - First Public Meeting of the COMPRO Working Group
- Cost-efficiency of Hybrid and CNG Buses through
Common Procurement - 18 September 2008 Bremen
- Over 80 participants took part in the meeting
which started with a presentation about the
future needs for energy efficient public
transport. The experiences cities have made with
CNG and hybrid buses where then showcased (New
York, Üstra and Oldenburg). Which lessons were
learnt and what are the needs? The audience had
then the opportunity to listen to presentations
highlighting the basic features of common
procurement, the barriers and the chances. - An open debate among all participants was
afterwards animated with structured questions.
The aim was to find altogether the common
denominator on the demand side and boost the
process of common procurement for CNG and hybrid
buses. - 2 PMG meetings
- 5 March 2008 Nantes
- 19 September 2008 Bremen
7Results from PMGs
- The overall exercise of the PMG will be based on
the EC proposal for directive on the promotion of
clean and energy efficient road transport
vehicles (COM(2007) 817 final). The directive
implies that public authorities and operators
providing services under a contract with a public
authority, will have to include as award criteria
for the procurement of buses the operational
lifetime costs. According to the directive, the
operational lifetime costs mean the monetised
values for energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and
pollutant emissions that are linked to the
operation of the vehicles to be procured,
calculated in accordance with a specific
methodology set out in the directive. According
to the EC, the lifetime mileage of a bus is 800
000 Km. - In respect to the directive, the manufacturers
position is in favour of a dialogue with the
potential purchasers so as to define together the
vehicles technical specifications that would
respond to the directive requirements. - While manufacturers welcome the debate on buses
specifications to meet the operational lifetime
costs limits, they are not in the position to
analyse the process according to a specific
energy technology such as CNG and/or hybrid as
foreseen in the COMPRO project. They made a
technology neutral approach an absolute
requirement. - Anyhow, as for the technologies analysed in
COMPRO, they considered that hybrid has a greater
potential compared to CNG, for which not much
further development can be seen.
