Fleet management
The NSW Government Sustainability Policy incorporates the 2005 Cleaner NSW Government Fleet Policy. The following actions apply:
- For the Government fleet to improve the average “environment performance score” using the NSW Clean Car Benchmarks, to 12/20 by 2007/08
- For the Government fleet to progressively reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions to achieve a 20% reduction by 2007/08 (based on 2004/05 performance).
- Agencies with fleets of 25 to 99 cars are required to have at least one petrol/electric hybrid fuel technology vehicle. For fleets comprising 100 or more vehicles, one per cent of the fleet must be hybrid vehicles.
- New government fuel contracts to require availability of E10 blends (or other alternative fuels).
- Motor vehicle purchasing requirements for all agencies to require vehicles to be compatible with E10 blends (or other alternative fuels), consistent with the Cleaner NSW Government Fleet Policy.
The Cleaner NSW Government Fleet Policy is coordinated by the Department of Commerce
