In this regard, minimum targets have been set for environmentally friendly vehicles procured through public procurement. The authorities propose determining the number of such purchases within the framework of public or sectoral procurement carried out at national level.
Specifically, the proportion of environmentally friendly passenger cars is to be set at 13.5 per cent of the total number of passenger cars covered by procurement contracts; 5 per cent for environmentally friendly heavy goods vehicles of categories H2 and H3 (vans) out of the total number in that category; and 23 per cent for environmentally friendly heavy goods vehicles of category M3.
The purchase of energy-efficient vehicles to support low-emission mobility will enable government bodies to ensure a healthier living environment by improving air quality, particularly in cities, as explained in the explanatory note to the draft.
The document will come into force upon Moldova’s accession to the EU. Until then, the government will approve support programmes to ensure that the set targets are met. Five years after the date of entry into force, and every five years thereafter, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development will prepare a report on the fulfilment of the set targets.
