| The development of the clean vehicles market is well recognised to be a key factor able to reduce the high level of energy consumption, pollutant emissions and dependence on oil of the transport sector.
The current difficulties faced by the clean vehicles market could be solved if a common European market was established. Fragmentation, caused by market and regulation protection, delivers unbalanced commercialisation of products, uneven technical standards across Europe and different definitions.In the absence of European or national legislation, COMPRO aims at contributing to the development of a common European market of clean vehicles (CNG & Hybrid), taking action on the demand side in order to homogenize the products technical requirements in coordination with the key market counterpart through a structured mechanism of participatory consultation. In concrete terms COMPRO will analyse the conditions for a common procurement of clean collective and public service transport vehicles at European scale by creating an international buyers consortium of local authorities to pool up together and reach the critical mass needed to ensure a swift market development. |
