Abstract

The Swedish EV procurement program is focusing on, both a passenger car and a medium duty van. Since 1992 a purchaser group has been working with user specifications of the two vehicle types. In February 1994, two RFPs (requests for proposal) were sent out to the international vehicle industry.

The paper will discuss the chosen vehicles and the background for the choice. It will also discuss the evaluation process ahead. The procurement is made in two steps, 8-10 vehicles will be evaluated and tested for 5-8 months. If this process is completed successfully, the main series vehicles will be purchased.
