The vehicle is usually built on a car platform (unibody), with upright seating position, high outward visibility, spacious interior, flexible cargo capacity, smooth drive and excellent fuel economy, station wagon or hatchback type. The large majority of the vehicles that will be required by the UN are left-hand drive configuration, fitted with diesel engine, that is compliant with European emission standards up to Euro 4 (or equivalent) that can operate with diesel that has high content of sulphur. After-Sale Services – The UN normally maintains its own vehicle fleet. However, a good after-sale service package is required, including warranty, provision of spare parts, training of UN staff (including on-site maintenance training in field missions), technical assistance, tools and equipment, as and when required. To this effect, local dealers are desirable and, if available, should have the ability to maintain and repair the vehicles. In some countries where the UN does not have in-house vehicle maintenance capabilities, dealership may be a requirement. Details on technical specifications and after-sale support requirements shall be provided to vendors in the solicitation document.
