Launch and Training of Clean Fleet Management Toolkit by the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) - UNEP
Organizers:
Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia) Center
About the Pre-Event:
The Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles (PCFV) and UNEP will be launching its "Clean Fleet Management Toolkit” in Asia at this BAQ 2008 pre-event.
This Toolkit contains a number of tools that help organizations develop a strategy for reducing the environmental and health impacts of their vehicle fleet and with minimal information and inputs, develop practical strategies and scenarios for corrective and cost-effective action.
The toolkit is a step-by-step system for beginners and experienced users and managers comprising of five steps (http://www.unep.org/tnt-unep/toolkit/);
• Awareness: Introducing the issues on environment and transport
• Impact: Estimating your fleet’s impacts on environment and health
• Actions: Identifying the options available to reduce environment and health impacts
• Strategy: Developing a strategy by choosing selected actions and setting targets
• Monitoring: Keeping track of the effects of your strategy and improvements
During the pre-event, Fleet Managers/Operators and the CAI-Asia Country Network Coordinators will undergo hands-on training on clean fleet strategy development. This will enable them, when they return to their countries, to use the toolkit to reduce the environmental and health impacts of emissions from their organization’s vehicles.
Date/Time
Tuesday 11 November, 2006 at 9am -12 noon for presentation and training on the Toolkit followed by lunch and resuming at 1.30pm - 3.30 pm for a test-run with selected organizations that have vehicle fleets.
Room: Saithip
Target Participants
The event is open to a maximum of 20 participants. This is an ideal event for Fleet Owners, Operators and Managers responsible for fleets responsible for fleet management as well as Operations Managers responsible for the trucking/fleet Budget line.
CAI-Asia Country Network Coordinators from Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam have been invited to participate in the pre-event. Other interested organizations including the private sector companies managing vehicle fleets are encouraged to inform Glynda Bathan (glynda.bathan@cai-asia.org) of their desire to secure an invitation for the pre-event.
