The Clean Fleets team have recently developed two new publications: 

• a Life Cycle Costing tool 

• and the Clean Vehicle Procurement Guide 

Before finalising them though, we would like your feedback.

Below we have put together 4 questions for each document and we would like to invite you to send us your thoughts.

Clean Vehicle Procurement Guide (Link below)

1. How useful is this guide?
2. Does it explain the Clean Vehicle Directive effectively?
3. Are any important elements missing?
4. Can you provide further useful examples?

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) tool for the Clean Vehicle Directive (Link below)

1. Is there anything missing/ is everything working?
2. Are all elements necessary (e.g. the discount rate)?
3. Most importantly, would you find this tool useful for your vehicle procurement?
4. It would be especially interesting for us to know - would you consider using the section which attributes monetary costs to emissions in a real tender?

We do hope you find both of these tools to be of interest and would very much appreciate any feedback you are able to provide to .
