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

Two Train-the-Trainer

workshops In Rome and Sofia
