RECODRIVE - Rewarding and Recognition Schemes for Energy Conserving Driving, Vehicle procurement and maintenance
Overview
Background & policy context:
The project responded to the need to save energy and reduce CO2-emissions in transport.
Objectives:
RECODRIVE aimed at merging existing ecodriving initiatives with good fleet management and logistics optimisation practices to push fuel saving in fleets beyond 10%. RECODRIVE focused on all processes with human components and supported fleet owners.
Methodology:
In addition to the project management, RECODRIVE comprised six technical work-packages:
WP2 Framework analysis prepared the ground for a knowledgeable specification of the measures. In this work package baseline analysis was conducted in order to investigate best cases and to analyse existing campaigns and their effects.
WP3 Materials and set up of the demonstrations produced audit schemes for energy related processes like procurement, driver training and fuel management, the planning documents for success prone demonstration and last but not least also for the dissemination and the internal marketing
WP4 Demonstrators: the measures were validated in demonstrators in 9 European countries with a total of approx. 1,500 kilometres and high consumption. Different kinds of fleets were included, including electric vehicles.
WP5 Evaluation and policy formulation specified and implemented the evaluation, ensuring that performance indicators and fuel savings were met. A formulation of validated concepts for the various fleet types and motivating facts for regional and city administration were provided as a result of the cross comparative evaluation.
WP6 Networking and dissemination ensured targeted awareness raising for the project and networking.
WP7 Common dissemination activities- together with WP6 - provided support for training/assistance and networking amongst captive and other fleet owners, and also addressed individuals/citizens by supporting driving schools and internal driver training for vocational drivers and providing their teachers with materials.
