Freight Councils 2025

As a Logistics UK member, you are invited to join and participate in our Freight Councils that take place in locations across the UK and online three times a year. These Councils are central to Logistics UK’s democratic structure and by joining, you will be able to share views on topical issues and help shape our policy positions. 

Freight Councils give all Logistics UK members the opportunity to:    

• Learn about policies being proposed by UK, regional and local government and their agencies and the implications of these for logistics operations – aimed at helping future-proof members’ operations.  

• Help decide Logistics UK’s response to proposals – ensuring the needs of members’ companies are taken into consideration in what we say.  

• Network with peers in the industry, discussing topics ranging from key and operational issues to national transport policy matters. 

In our final round of 2024 Councils topics for discussion have included:  

• The regulatory threshold of 3.5 tonnes for zero-emission vehicles and the need to review this in order for them to avoid falling into scope of the full suite of commercial vehicle legislation. 

• The impact of the Zero Emission Mandate targets for the registration of zero emission vehicles on fleet renewal decisions in the industry. 

• Potential future models of road investment funding, which could arise due to declining fuel revenue as fleets decarbonise. 

• How Logistics UK can further develop its regional and devolved councils to ensure they deliver value for members and enhance our policy and campaigning activity. 

If you would like to join our upcoming 2025 Freight Councils, please contact our membership support team here.  

In addition to the Freight Councils, there is the opportunity to join our Modal Councils for rail, water and air, our Engineering Forums or specific Working Groups on topics such as innovation and environment policy. All the groups can be viewed here  and we would welcome your participation in any that are relevant to your business.
