FTA has reinforced its commitment to health, safety and well-being, by announcing the appointment of Mick Parcell as its new Head of VIS Health & Safety and Engineering Improvement.
Pressure from FTA has led to significant improvements to the Scottish National Transport Strategy (NTS2), published in February, with the document now recognising the importance of the logistics sector to achieving sustainable Scottish economic growth.
FTA is calling on government to take measures to improve the safety of smart motorways, following a report by BBC Panorama, which raises concerns about the safety of smart motorways and indicates that reform may be imminent.
The organisers of ITT Hub 2020, the ground-breaking new event for innovation and technology in road-based transport, have announced that they will host a special area in the exhibition for the many government and non-governmental organisations which play a key role in the provision, regulation and development of current and future services across the whole sector.
FTA strongly welcomes Transport for London’s (TfL) decision to increase its financial support for businesses needing to replace their current vans and HGVs with newer, cleaner models in preparation for the tightening of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) standards later this year.
FTA has said that the new target to ban petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles by 2035 is not only extremely ambitious, it is also unlikely to be achieved unless the government takes urgent action.
FTA is relieved the government has provided clarity on HS2, but logistics businesses now need a guarantee it will use the high-speed rail line to free up space for rail freight services on existing lines. The business group is also calling on the government to commit to a nationwide programme of upgrades to the rail network; HS2 will not solve capacity issues in other regions.
