The ADB-GMS Environment Operations Centre (EOC) and the Mekong Institute carried out a survey of freight companies in August 2011 and held a workshop for truck companies and related stakeholders in October 2011 to develop recommendations for fuel and logistics efficiency in the freight transport sector. Building on these recommendations, a two-day training course is being organized on "Clean Truck Fleet Training - Freight and Logistics Energy Efficiency" for logistics companies operating along the EWEC in Thailand, Lao PDR and Vietnam.

The course will be centered on the “Clean Fleet Management Toolkit” which has been prepared jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme and TNT, a global courier service provider. Delivered in conjunction with the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities, this course is meant for transport / fleet managers and will help participating companies to understand issues related to the fuel consumption of their truck fleet, and to identify technology and management options to increase fuel and logistics efficiency.A total of 24 logistics companies from Vietnam, Laos and Thailand will be attending the training from  16-17th January 2012 .
