What is COMPROWhat is COMPRO

The aim of COMPRO is to enhance the development of the clean vehicles market (CNG and hybrid) taking

action on the demand side and creating a constructive dialogue

with the supply. In concrete terms COMPRO analyses the conditions

for a common procurement of clean collective and public service transport vehicles at European

scale by creating an international buyers consortium of local authorities.

Who is involvedWho is involved

COMPRO gathers an initial number of 4 local authorities:• Nantes Metropole (+ Semitan)• Bremen (+BSAG)• Emilia Romagna Region• Gatubolaget (Goteborg)

The Follower Cities WGThe Follower Cities WGCOMPRO has opened the analysis to external cities,

regions and public transport operators throughout Europe

The possibility to join the

activities is still open!

• The whole study is implemented following a participatory process involving the automotive industry, national and local governments and public transport operators (within the Procurement Management Group) in order to keep COMPRO in line with the options available on the market and analyse the conditions for a Common Procurement from different perspectives:

• Demand side: convergence on common standards/specification

• Juridical perspective: homogeneisation of regulatory frameworks

• Supply side: attitude of the industry towards buyers consortia

The participatory processThe participatory process

The PMG is composed of selected stakeholders representing different interests:

• National Bodies (Italian Ministry of Environment, ADEME-F)• Regional Authorities (Regione Emilia Romagna)• Local Authorities (Bremen, Nantes)• Associations of local authorities (Polis, ICLEI, LowCVP)• Operators (UITP, Transdev, Gatubolaget, ATM)• Manufactureres (Bredamenarini, Volvo, MAN, Solaris, Irisbus)• BEI• Independent Expert

The COMPRO ApproachThe COMPRO Approach

WHAT to buy? WHAT to buy? (definition of common technical specifications)(definition of common technical specifications)

• Start from UITP Tender Structure for tendering of buses and related services, functional specifications to try to achieve common procurement standard;

• Proposition for a common clean bus = comparison of each city requirement:

OK = I agree to buy buses with proposition of COMPRO standard KO N = I disagree to buy buses with proposition BUT it is negotiable KO NN = I disagree to buy buses with proposition and it is NON negotiable

• Details analysed: accessibility, driver cabin, life on board, emissions, safety, general caracteristics

•From the decision to the implementation, what fields are related to local, national, European competency?

• Is it possible to identify minimum common requirements?

•Where the States cannot find agreements, can it be possible that large groups of cities push their own state to harmonize some vital norms towards truly trans-national procurement?
