One example is the use of small automated buses as a supplement to already existing public transport services. There are several manufacturers of these kind of buses, and field trials are in progress. The goal of the pre-project is to evaluate the feasibility and criteria for transport with automated buses in two middle-sized Nordic municipalities, Lørenskog in Norway and Borås in Sweden, by analyzing at least two different test-cases in each location. Feasibility, adaptation to existing traffic and conditions for public acceptance are described. The pre-project concludes that automated buses are possible in these two municipalities. Further test and demonstrations should be made.

This trend is mainly due to the fact all stakeholders made significant efforts to progressively electrify both the vehicle fleet and maritime transport. Road freight and domestic air travel are already in line as the next upcoming challenges. Norwegian local governments’ efforts in terms of public transit in urban areas have delivered real results but did not lead to a fall in transport demand at the national level.

  • Annual Report 2002 EFTA Surveillance Authority Rue De Trèves 74 B-1040 Brussels Summary 2001
    Annual Report 2002 EFTA Surveillance Authority Rue de Trèves 74 B-1040 Brussels www.eftasurv.int Summary 2001 Foreword The Agreement on the European Economic Area has now been in force for nine years. The Agreement continues to ensure access to an increasingly important Internal Market, and is a cornerstone of trade policy in the EFTA States. With its dynamic character, the EEA Agreement has stood the test of time. Just as the Agreement functions in parallel with the EC Treaty to ensure a homogenous Internal Market, the Authority works in parallel with the European Commission to ensure that the Agreement is implemented and applied in an equal manner throughout the European Economic Area. It is worth noting, however, that certain Articles of the EC Treaty, which have been added since 1992, are not reflected in the EEA Agreement. There is a growing concern that differences between the EC Treaty and the EEA Agreement may eventually result in an Internal Market moving at different speeds, thus reducing the efficiency of the Internal Market. During 2002, considerable effort was made by the EFTA States to improve their implementation records for EEA law. These efforts have been fruitful: all the EFTA States now figure among the EEA countries with the highest implementation scores. Statistics show that the number of cases dealt with by the Authority in 2002 has been reduced compared to the previous year. This can be attributed in part to the improved implementation records of the EFTA States, and in part to a gradual shift in focus of the Authority’s tasks towards resolution of complaints and examination of implementing legislation and away from legislative notification by EFTA States.

This paper is an extended version of a paper presented at 32nd International Electric Vehicle Symposium 2019 y (EVS 32), Lyon, France, 19–22 May 2019. Received: 3 October 2019; Accepted: 4 November 2019; Published: 6 November 2019 Abstract: Governance is central for sustainability transitions in maritime transport. Norwegian authorities can directly influence developments in maritime transport through green public procurement, and low- or zero-emission technologies have been or are being considered for more than 250 operational ferry and high-speed vessel connections. This study explores practices of green public procurement and investigates procuring authorities and operators’ perspectives on the efficiency of green public procurement in accelerating sustainability transitions. Through review of calls for tender and interviews with procuring authorities and operators, the study identifies critical issues for green public procurement to accelerate maritime passenger transport toward sustainability. The critical issues are related to either procedural or service delivery issues. Procedural issues refer to timelines with multiple calls on the same time and different views of procurers and operators on the ideal duration of contracts. The most demanding service delivery issues are infrastructure for charging and energy capacity in remote areas where operators have to pre-book energy needs based on rough estimations which in turn increase the tender price.
