Summary sheet
Daimler AG
The project concerns the financing of the promoter’s RDI activities for the development of small Internal Combustion Engines and lightweight material technology.
The project will have positive environmental results through a reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Moreover the project is aiming to improve the safety of vehicles.
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorized and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the Directive 85/337/EC, amended by Directives 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. Any possible environmental issue will however be verified during the project’s appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector, and is thus not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
