| 摘要： | DfT's consultation on LSTs closes the first of this month. While the trial of semi-trailers of up to 2m longer than standard units was planned to run until 2027, it said in November 2020: "We believe the trial has reached a point where continuing is unlikely to provide useful results and that remaining issues relating to safety can only be answered outside of trial settings."The trial started in 2012, and was, in part, a response to calls by elements of the UK haulage industry for the UK to adopt the 25.25m European Modular System (EMS) popular in Scandinavia and the Netherlands. DfT's 'official' position on EMS vehicles is they are not suitable for the UK's road infrastructure. However, it conceded the use of larger goods carrying vehicles could lower carbon emissions resulting from fewer LGVs journeys, which would also ease congestion. |
