Bus Fleet Renewal Toolkit

Are you familiar with obsolete bus fleets that are old, poorly maintained, highly-polluting and unsafe? An urban bus fleet modernisation project could be the answer.

This toolkit provides essential knowledge for practitioners who want to or who are already engaged in policy initiatives aimed at modernising bus systems. The toolkit provides detailed information and tools by GIZ and other organisations on all aspects of fleet modernization programs and offers examples and lessons learned from around the world.
