Purchase of operational leasing and other associated services for electric and hybrid cars.

It is a well-known fact that mobility and therefore transportation are responsible for a very significant part of CO2 emissions. This is particularly relevant in low density areas, where mobility relies mainly upon individual transportation.
Municipalities and other public entities play a significant role in what regards changing this paradigm, not only by adopting in their own fleets more efficient and non pollutant vehicles but by creating the necessary infrastructures – for instance electric cars chargers installation. Using more environmental friendly vehicles sets the example for the overall population and so a spillover effect can be expected.
Through this specific procedure CIMBAL´s Central purchasing system opens the possibility to the municipalities and other adherents to not only gain access to smart mobility solutions - electric and hybrid cars- but also substitutes the purchasing of the vehicle by the purchase of the mobility solution - operational leasing and other associated services- using circular economy principles.
The Central purchasing system currently covers 13 municipalities, but it may also cover other entities working in the framework of Public Contracts rules and legislation, namely municipal services, local business sectors, private associations and others.
This system also enables procurement processes that integrate new award criteria such as innovation or Life Cycle assessment.
