FNEE/Aid programmes for modal and means of transport shift

This aid program seeks to promote the realization of sustainable transport plans to the workplace with a view to achieving significant changes in the modal split, with greater involvement of the most efficient modes; and moreover, keep advancing with the improvements in fleet management - both in terms of loads and routes – carrying out audits, implementing information systems and training in fleet management. Finally, it has been deemed appropriate to continue encouraging continuous training in efficient driving techniques for professional drivers. This line of support was conceived to be further expanded in the following years until 2020. The overall budget of this programme has been €11.72 million, coming from the National Energy Efficiency Fund - created by Law 18/2014, of 15 October, approving urgent measures for growth, competitiveness and efficiency.
