168 Vehicle fleet assessment RKI members have assessed their own vehicle fleet every year in cooperation with Raiffeisen-Leasing GmbH. This gives the participating organizations an overview of their fleet’s average CO2 emissions as well as an appropriate benchmark. The current evaluation of the fleet survey shows that the CO2 value has dropped by an average of four percent compared to the previous year. Sixteen out of twenty RKI companies are now below the target value of 150 g CO2/km. Due to the average emission reductions in the fleets of RKI member companies, which have remained constant for years, and the development in the mobility sector, the decision was taken to reduce the recommended target value from 150 g CO2/km to 130 g CO2/km. “Österreichischer Klimaschutzpreis Junior”(Austrian Junior Climate Protection Award) ORF and the Federal Ministry of Environment called for young people aged between six and fifteen to submit their projects for the “Austrian Junior Climate Protection Award 2016” for the fifth time.
