  1. Introduction to ECOSTARS Promoting best practice in energy efficient fleet transport across Europe | Event | Place | Presented by: XXXXXXXXXXX Funding: STEER – INTELLIGENT ENERGY EUROPE (IEE) Grant Agreement IEE/10/290/SI2.589420 Full title: ECOSTARS Europe Acronym: ECOSTARS Project start date: June 2011 End date: May 2014 www.ecostars-europe.eu

  2. The Concept (1) Free local membership schemes: • Managed by cities or regions • Targeted at operators of vehicle fleets (trucks, vans and buses) • Recognition of best practice in clean and energy efficient operations • Guidance and advice provided to members on how further environmental improvements can be achieved

  3. The Concept (2) • Member vehicles and their operating practices are rated applying star rating criteria, to recognise levels of environmental and energy-saving performance.  

  4. Assessment Categories Performance Monitoring & Management Use of IT support systems Vehicle specification / Preventative Maintenance Driver skills development Fuel Management Fleet composition

  5. The Story • The first local “ECO Stars” scheme was established in South Yorkshire, UK in 2009 • The scheme was developed as part of a larger programme of measures to improve local air quality

  6. European Project • The ECOSTARS Europe project will establish a number of fleet recognition schemes in European cities and regions between June 2011 and May 2014 • Results will be evaluated and promoted to encourage other cities and regions to adopt the ECOSTARS concept

  7. Partners

  8. Local Schemes • Seven local schemes will be launched in 2012: • Plus development funding for the South Yorkshire scheme • Parma, Italy • Rotterdam, The Netherlands • Cantabria, Spain • South East Sweden • Basque region, Spain • Edinburgh, UK • Ostrava, Czech Republic

  9. Membership Target Audience • Freight operators • Passenger transport operators • Public sector fleet operators • Local and regional governments

  10. Expected Results • Increased adoption of fuel efficient operating practices and cleaner vehicles • Improved engagement between local government and fleet operators • Energy and carbon savings • Increased local economic efficiency • Improved local air quality
