London 2012 Sustainability Report - A blueprint for change
This is the first of three London 2012 Sustainability Reports, designed to chart our delivery against the London 2012 Sustainability Plan (2009). The next
two reports will be released in the spring of 2012 and the winter of 2012/13.
This report covers the 2010 calendar year, and its focus is on construction
and planning for the Games. The second report to be published in 2012 will
provide a comprehensive pre-Games view of our programme. The timing of that report is important as it will provide a spotlight on our progress prior to
the Games and the Rio +20 World Summit on Sustainable Development.

Green Fleet Technology Study for Public Transport
The report focuses on alternative drivetrain technologies and fuels that offer carbon reduction from city buses, although technologies relevant to taxis are also discussed.

The analysis focuses on the likely performance of short-medium term solutions (< 10 years) and suggests some demand side measures and practises which can be implemented to assist in the transition to cleaner public transport fleets. The study draws on technology information from industry technology roadmaps, interviews with technology providers and industry experts. Future demand for public transport vehicles and current procurement practises are established from the PPIA network cities.
