Procura Manuals
Fleet Scan Tool
Ecofys and NTDA Energia have completed the first version of a Fleet Scan Tool. This sophisticated but easy to use tool allows
fleet owners to examine potential economic and environmental benefits when they substitute conventional vehicles in their
fleets by AFVs. The tool will be used in all five pilot projects and customized to the specific regulatory and economic situation in the
different pilot countries. A total of 150 scans will be performed during the Procura project. By using this tool fleet owners will:
1. Improve the performance of their fleet
with respect to a specific emission rate
(CO2, PM10, NOx)
2. Align their fleet with
new EU and national
environmental regulations
3. Offer their clients
economic benefits
4. Decrease
maintenance costs
(such as fuel costs).
The Procura project, a General Action of the Intelligent Energy for Europe Program sponsored by the EU, has developed a
comprehensive set of tools (Procura Tools), joint procurement models, manuals, and fleet scan tools, to facilitate the
acquisition and maintenance of Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) for private and public fleets. Procura will also work on the
start-up development of second hand markets and certification systems for AFVs. In five pilot projects in Italy, Netherlands, Poland,
Portugal, and Spain the models, tools and manuals are being used to assist local fleet owners to integrate AFVs in their fleets.
Instituto Superior Técnico (IST ) completed the first version of the manual “Market Barriers for
Large-Scale Alternative Fuel Vehicles Procurement” to identify and describe the key market
barriers to the introduction of Alternative Fuel Vehicles. This report is particularly directed
towards Private and Public Fleet Owners. The report presents an analysis of the AFV commercial
availability and an explanation of the main decision factors that influence the acquisition of AFVs
in different European countries.

2.3 Training Guidelines for Maintenance and Support of AFVs

The Procura Pilot Projects are using different tools to facilitate local acquisition of AFVs
Progress of project:
- more than 20 bus operators were contacted
- 7 letters of intent for AFV procurement
- Seminars held with complete supply chain
Some Conclusions of project:
- Buses form an attractive AFV market
- Infra, volume, central logistics
- Interest in CNG for lower fuel prices
Progress of project:
- Supply chain analysis Valencia region
- identification 200 stakeholders
- Focus on FFV and biofuels
- First fleet scans performed
Conclusions of project:
- Local support OEMs of large
influence (vehicle availability)
- Incentive systems as cost
compensation will be crucial
Progress of project:
- Focus on biofuels
- CNG is well integrated in Italy
- Florence integrated as pilot
Some Conclusions of project:
- Political difficulties
- Limited fleet owner interest
- High fuel prices and infrastructure availability
Progress of project:
- Focus on CNG procurement: buses and
cars (200 AFV)
- Municipality as partner
- Several workshops with relevant parties
- Fleet scans with interested fleet owners
Conclusions of project:
- Condensed knowledge valuable (manuals) for
municipalities and stakeholders
- Relevant to include complete supply chain:
e.g. bus companies, end users, concession authority
- Integration on public tender process
Progress of project:
Municipality of Lisbon fleet
11 urban transport companies targeted
+ 3 municipal fleets
First workshops with stakeholders held
Some Conclusions of project:
-Market barriers large: vehicle
availability + high costs of fuel
-No infrastructure available ->
municipality takes the lead
