Advising on a zero emission and automated bus services trial

1 minute read  04.07.2019

Our client was seeking information to develop a market process to trial zero emission buses (ZEBs) and connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to welcome investment into beneficial new and emerging technologies.

Our legal and infrastructure consulting teams came together to develop a market sounding approach that would inform the client of a number of areas:

  • Zero emissions and climate change
  • IT and central control issues
  • Data and privacy issues
  • Safety and regulatory considerations
  • Funding considerations for sustainability initiatives
  • Fleet and built infrastructure contract development
  • Procurement of fleet and built infrastructure approaches.

Together, this information helped our client gain a thorough understanding of the options for structuring their approach to market, contracting arrangements and risk. It also informed their ability to competitively and effectively procure and deliver the projects within the timeframe required.

Joining legal and consulting infrastructure expertise

Our legal and infrastructure consulting teams brought together expertise in infrastructure, CAVs, bus transport services contracts, ICT, climate strategy, sustainability finance and procurement of complex infrastructure and fleet.

Market sounding collateral was developed and provided to the client with relevant points for future reference to help in their decision making.
