EU GPP Case Study: Framework agreement for zero-emission vehicles in Oslo, Norway
Pursuing its objective of having a zero-emission vehicle fleet by 2015, the City of Oslo has concluded a framework agreement to replace a thousand cars and vans with environmentally friendly options in the years to come. The move feeds into the City’s “zero-emission technology” policy, established in 2010. A range of pre-procurement activities were undertaken by Oslo prior to setting up the framework agreement, which included a thorough testing phase of the new vehicles by their users, and extensive communication of the City’s policy for vehicles. The latter included a dialogue with all major suppliers about Oslo’s plans. As road transport contributes to 55% of overall direct emissions in Oslo, the current practice will put the City on the right path for meeting its climate policy goals.
