Presentació de Xavier Guinart, director del Servei de Vigilància i Control de l'Aire del Departament de Territori i Sostenibilitat de la Generalitat de Catalunya, en les jornades Urban Air Quality: The Challenge of Non-Exhaust Road Transport Emissions, organitzades per B·Debate —iniciativa de Biocat i l’Obra Social “la Caixa”— i l’Institut de Diagnosi Ambiental i Estudis de l'Aigua (IDAEA-CSIC) els dies 11 i 12 de juliol a Barcelona. Es presenten algunes de les mesures que incorpora el nou pla de qualitat de l'aire de l'àrea metropolitana de Barcelona, que té com a objectiu assolir uns nivells de seguretat d'aquí a 2015: oferir descomptes als peatges d'accés a la ciutat als vehicles híbrids o poc contaminants, fomentar l'ús del transport públic i de la bicicleta i reduir les emissions de les persones i el tràfic de mercaderies l'aeroport del Prat i el port de Barcelona.

Distinctive of environmental quality for vehicle fleets
What is it ?
It s a voluntary eco-label that recognizes vehicle fleets with optimum
environmental management beyond required by the regulations.
It is awarded by the Government of Catalonia managed by the Ministry of
Territory and Sustainability.
It’s a measure of the Barcelona Area Air Quality Plan.
Objectives:
1) Reduction of air pollutants emissions (PM10, NO2,…).
2) Improve eco-efficiency and sustainability (especially in urban
environments).
3) Minimize impacts and greenhouse gas emissions from transport.

Distinctive of environmental quality for vehicle fleets
There are 8 sub-categories of the vehicle fleet distinctive according to:
1) Type of vehicle: Passenger car, Light Duty Vehicle, Heavy Duty Vehicle,
Collective Transport or Special Services.
2) Type of applicant: Freelancer, Company or Institution.
Environmental criteria to obtain the distinctive include mandatory standards and in
some cases optional criteria related to:
1) Fleet Management (fuel monthly record,..)
2) Efficient driving (training, plans,..)
3) Maintenance of vehicles (eco-labeled workshop)
4) Euro standards (minimum)
5) Low emissions vehicles (renewal plans)
6) Other actions of environmental commitment (ISO, EMAS)
