Summary sheet
The project concerns the promoter's research, development and innovation (RDI) activities for the years 2015-2017, in particular for the development of new commercial vehicles.
The investments will focus on RDI activities related to the development of next generation light and heavy duty commercial vehicles, as well as modernisation of production lines/process innovation.
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already used for similar activities, and would therefore not require an environmental impact assessment (EIA) according to Directive 2011/92/EU if located in the EU. Any possible environmental issues, including coherence with the principles underlying the EU directives, will, however, be verified during the project's appraisal.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
The proposed EIB finance and the total project cost figures provided below represent initial EIB estimates of maximum amounts and are subject to verification during appraisal. As such, the final amounts may vary.
