Civinity, a group of building maintenance, facility management and engineering solutions companies, has announced an open tender to procure up to 350 new electric vehicles for its operations in Lithuania and Latvia.
This is one of the largest fleet renewal projects of its kind in the service sector and, undoubtedly, the largest in the building maintenance services business. Through this initiative, Civinity aims to consistently reduce its environmental footprint and deliver its “Smart Green City” vision — a smart, green urban ecosystem where essential services cover not only buildings, but also mobility between them.
“An efficient city depends on how quickly, reliably and sustainably mobility‑dependent services are delivered. That is why renewing our fleet with sustainable electric vehicles is not a symbolic move, but a very practical step — one that demonstrates our strategic commitment to sustainability and smart solutions, while reducing emissions,” said Deividas Jacka, Chairman of the Board of Civinity.
According to Civinity representatives, the tender aims to attract leading electric vehicle manufacturers’ representatives in Lithuania that can cover the full range of the group’s fleet needs. The evaluation will consider not only the vehicle itself, but also long‑term operational quality.
In addition, Civinity plans to purchase an EV operation training programme together with the vehicles, to ensure safe and efficient use by employees — from day‑to‑day operation to charging discipline and driving specifics in different conditions.
The new fleet will be introduced in Civinity group building administration companies in Lithuania and Latvia. This means the supply chain, service quality and the partner’s geographic capacity must reflect the group’s operational reality — multiple cities and teams with different on‑the‑ground needs.
The first phase (150 vehicles) is planned for the next 6–12 months. Further rollout is expected over a 24–36 month horizon, depending on project results, operating experience and actual service demand.
Civinity links this decision to a broader ESG (environmental, social and governance) agenda. Over recent years, the group has been strengthening sustainability management — from clearer principles and metrics to practical solutions that deliver tangible impact in day‑to‑day operations.
Fleet is one of the areas where environmental impact can be reduced the fastest. In building maintenance and administration, mobility is an essential part of service delivery: teams travel to customers every day, respond to incidents, perform inspections and carry out engineering work. As a result, mobility choices directly affect service quality, while low‑emission transport choices affect environmental impact.
“Our approach to sustainability is simple: if we want to build a smart, green city, we have to start with our daily practices. Mobility is one of the areas where change becomes visible quickly. This is not greenwashing — it is a step that reduces pollution and noise in residential areas where our teams work, and helps us transition towards a lower‑emission operating model,” said Jacka.
The group currently operates a fleet of nearly 400 vehicles.
