Technical requirements: The objective of the project is ‘The prerequisites for a broadly effective use of energy-efficient propulsion systems in Brazil have been created’.
The project is based on federal level, but pilot projects shall be implemented in cities and states that still need to be selected.
Brazil published new climate indicators in September 2015 and announced to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43 % till 2030 compared to 2005. In addition to the in-creased use of renewable energy, Brazil is striving for an energy efficiency improvement of 10 percent. The transport sector is responsible for more than half the consumption of fossil fuels and Brazilian energy-related GHG emissions. According to the Ministry of the Environment (Ministério do Meio Ambiente, MMA), Brazil's direct carbon dioxide (CO
According to a forecast by the Brazilian Energy Planning Authority (Empresa de Pesquisa Energética, EPE), the fleet of passenger cars is expected to triple by 2050, of which 11 800 000  (about 9 per cent) are purely electric vehicles. Guided by the global trend, Brazil is also increasingly focusing on energy-efficient propulsion systems (electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid systems), especially in local public transport and municipal transport, to meet its climate requirements. Investments in the construction of production capacities and the acquisition of electrically operated buses are supported by the development bank BNDES. However, market and vehicle approvals for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are hardly growing, since the prerequisites for the broad use of energy-efficient propulsion systems are missing (core problem).
The objective of the project is therefore: ‘The prerequisites for a broadly effective use of energy-efficient propulsion systems have been created’.
The project is based on federal level, but pilot projects shall be implemented in cities and states that still need to be selected.
The DKTI project will work on the meso and micro level and is divided into 3 components: (1) the development of a strategy to promote energy efficient propulsion systems; (2) standardization and regulation, and (3) business models for energy-efficient propulsion systems. The focus will be on plug-in hybrids and purely electric vehicles (technology approach) in public transport, as well as in private and public fleets (fields of application). Experiences from demonstration projects are part of the design of promotion and incentive mechanisms.
Cooperation with the private sector (e.g., vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, energy suppliers or fleet operators) is sought. The scope and content of the co-operations shall be determined during the duration of the project.
According to section 160, paragraph 3 sentence 1 Act against Restraint of Competition (Competition Act — GWB), application for the review proceeding is inadmissible if:
1. the applicant has identified the claimed infringement of the contract award regulations before submitting the application for the review proceeding and has not submitted a complaint to the contracting entity within a period of 10 calendar days; the expiry of the period pursuant to section 134, paragraph 2 GWB remains unaffected;
2. complaints of infringements of contract award regulations that are evident in the notice are not submitted to the contracting entity at the latest by the expiry of the deadline for the application specified in the notice or by the deadline for the submission of bids;
3. complaints of infringements of contract award regulations that 1st become evident in the tender documents are not submitted to the contracting entity at the latest by the expiry of the deadline for application or for the submission of bids;
4. more than 15 calendar days have expired since receipt of the notification from the contracting entity that it is unwilling to redress the complaint.
