About START START deals with making goods distribution more energy efficient by combining access restrictions, incentives and the development of consolidation centres. START is coordinated by the City of Göteborg. For more information contact Håkan Perslow Lisa Sundell |
Incentives
Working with the provision of incentives is a way to reduce the energy intensity of freight transport by “rewarding” the use of clean vehicles, high load factors and the adoption of consolidation schemes. The incentives can be twofold; regulatory incentives and financial incentives.
Within the incentives workpackage the START cities will:
- Raise awareness among freight companies about energy efficiency
- Promote the introduction of clean vehicles (CNG and Bio-fuels)
- Develop “extras” for clean vehicles and trucks with a high load rate
- Promote and train for eco-driving and maintenance of vehicles
Outcome of this work package
The main output of this work package will relate to:- The appraisal of the range of available incentives and the selection of the most suitable ones in Ravenna
- Development of incentives for high load factor and clean vehicles in Göteborg resulting in a supposed 10% reduction of vehicles in the areas and 10% increase of clean vehicles
- Package of support, technical guidance and training tools in Bristol. Approximately 5-10 fleets and train 50 drivers will benefit from the support package and guidance.
- Promotion campaign to introduce biofuel vehicles and study of the status of the technical condition of current freight transport in Riga
- The administrative and technical set up of the package of incentives;
- The operational implementation of incentive schemes;
- The management of the schemes;
- The assessment of user reactions, barriers and drivers;
- The transfer of knowledge across sites and outside the project.
