| 摘要： | Longer goods vehicles that increase productivity and reduce haulier emission levels could become a permanent fixture on Britain's roads as the government has launched a consultation intotheirfuture. Up to 2.05m longer than conventional 13.6m heavy goods vehicles but no heavier, longer semitrailers (LSTs) can carry three more rows of supermarket goods cages on each journey compared with existing trailers. Atrial underway for the past seven years has shown that they've saved lorry drivers travelling millions of miles - cutting emissions and boosting productivity. Up until last year, the vehicles involved in the trial have saved lorry drivers 33.5 million miles and 48,000 tonnes of CO_2 -equivalentto taking over 20,000 cars off the road. The results also show the trailers were involved in fewer personal injury collisions compared to standard HGVs. |
