RESEARCH * UK - Transport 2000 recommends freight road pricing

UK -Road Transport -22 June 2007: -- A Freight Traffic road pricing scheme could improve the efficiency of road freight, almost double rail freight and increase coastal shipping, according to environmental transport body Transport 2000... Research carried out by MDS Transmodal on behalf of Transport 2000 assumed the lowest charges would be on motorways to encourage trucks to use these rather than local roads... It found that some international freight would switch from South-East ports to those in Yorkshire and the North-East rail freight would more than double and the environmental costs of road freight would stabilise. However, the research also showed that the scheme might increase carbon emissions because some trucks would choose longer routes using cheaper roads...
