The main objective of the ZEUS Project is to put into service a considerable number of zero or low emission vehicles. This requires purchasing efforts, either individually by each ZEUS city, or as a co-ordinated effort by several of the cities. In the case of electric vehicles, it was decided to apply a co-ordinated procurement process aiming at framework agreements to form the contractual base for the purchase by several cities on more or less identical terms. The ZEUS Procurement Consortium (ZPQ was formed for this purpose.
This report provides a description of the procurement process used, and the experience gained from this application. It also summarises the contractual results and data for the vehicles purchased. To provide a basis for comparing co-ordinated and non-co-ordinated procurements, the reports also briefly summarises the result of individual purchases by the ZEUS cities. This report should be seen as the first part in a series of two. The second part is planned to deal with early operating experience from the vehicles purchased
