Potential for learning or transfer
Public Administration could allocate local, regional and ERDF funds for purchase of eco-vehicles for commercial fleets, fixing parameters following EU regulation on CO2 and NOx reduction (see link on further info). Here the transferability evaluation through 3 parameters: Ease of Implementation: Easy; Impact:high; Benefit-cost ratio: somewhat high. This prioritization was used for all Good Practices of E-MOPOLI, more info in Source Book: www.interregeurope.eu/e-mopoli/library.
