To assist municipalities to encourage the use of environmentally friendly taxi vehicles, Rijkswaterstaat the report "Sustainable Procurement leerlingenvervoer 'released. "Especially in schools where many students come to school with the taxi van, this leads to much better air quality. But even in municipalities where the air already meets the EU standards for air quality can bet yield to vehicles on alternative fuels profit, "says the report. "In recent years, evidence increasingly be also cause harmful health effects of air pollution below the norm."
Alternate fuel vehicles bumping into the street where the students live far less exhaust fumes. So less diesel emissions (less soot) in front of the students and for the school students. And in addition to soot, bumping modern (Euro 5) diesel vin central cars also still much nitrogen NOx. New Procurement
As of April 1, 2013 the new Procurement Act took effect. This law also states that the contracting authority has to ensure that there are as many social value created by entering into a contract, including in terms of sustainability. Bets on environmentally vin central friendly vehicles in the procurement of school transport is a concrete expression of this.
"The municipal vin central environmental policy outlined in policy vin central in these areas is an important starting point for sustainability in procurement. With this contract, the municipality can now instantly give substance to the environment, "says Public Works. Taxi Industry
The general vin central idea is that in the taxi industry increasingly taxis (including minivans) on natural gas. The number of electric and hybrid taxis is still limited. The electric vin central version of the minivan is not available from the factory.
However, it is important to identify whether there is a aardgasvulpunt (or electric charging point) for the vehicles in the region / municipality is present, advises Rijkswaterstaat. If this is not the case, this can be a significant obstacle to the introduction of taxis on alternative fuels. Market Consultation
"In that case, the call phase of market consultation also the appropriate vin central place to gauge how this taxi companies to start thinking. And to indicate how to judge a contracting government tenders on this aspect will go. Some taxi companies have solved this problem vin central by letting build natural gas filling stations on site. "
To the use of taxis running on alternative fuels are additional costs, but also associated benefits. The supplement for the natural gas vehicle starts to persons vin central cars around 1,000. And depending on the location vin central of the filling / loading point the vehicles must detour. When these short diversions distance is too large, the use of alternative fuel vehicles may be unprofitable. That fact brings with it higher wage costs. Fuel Costs
However, the use of alternative fuels, also brings with it benefits. For example, vin central the fuel costs are lower. Natural gas, for example approximately 0.40 per liter (incl. VAT) cheaper than diesel. And there are various subsidy to purchase low-emission taxis.
For example, the purchase of clean taxis in 2014 subsidized by the national government. For a taxi on natural gas 1250, - subsidies are received, an electric taxi 3000, - (or 5000, - for a G4 (plus Arnhem) municipality). In addition, various regional and local subsidies for clean taxis. And VAMIL / MIA scheme brings in money.
"When taxi companies to reduce detours to refuel know they can make a cost technically advantageous tender", calculated Rijkswaterstaat. "As an indication of the fuel costs represent 9% of the total cost of taxis in 2014." Taxi
The market consultation can also be useful to get an idea on how innovation can taxi companies (in terms of running on alternative fuels) content and want to give. The tender documents can be anticipated here than for example whether or not to allow pilot projects.
"In the program of requirements and selection criteria, requirements for clean vehicles not returned immediately. However, the vehicles must of course comply with the legal environmental requirements. However, it can not avoid the taxi relatively old (and polluting) vehicles bet because these vehicles ever did meet the then applicable environmental requirements, "the report said. Write-off
"The commitment vin central to deploying new clean material has the disadvantage that the tendering parties are obliged to purchase new equipment and to accelerated depreciation of old equipment. It can thus costs opdrij
