| 摘要： | Through their role as the highest authority on road transport in Great Britain, traffic commissioners have a uniquely high-level perspective on the industry. They share those views in frank annual reports published in summer. To pull out just one theme, last year, they stated: "As vehicle engineering becomes more complex, there is an obvious argument for individual contractors to have formal qualifications so that standards can be maintained and a level playing field be retained for all operators." This year's annual report, released in late July, went even further. It raised concerns that shortages in qualified maintenance staff, as well as spare parts, are starting to occur. Turning to worrying about the safety of new technologies, the text continues: "In our previous report we commented on the advantages of a maintenance qualification to responsible operators. We look to the upcoming consultation on autonomous vehicles, but that will not provide an immediate answer to the challenges facing transport businesses and a high degree of certainty will be required if those business are to invest. The complexity of those vehicles and the change in operations will only add to the demand for highly skilled maintenance staff." |
