"From our point of view it represents an opportunity to set out the road transport stall and show the politicians the road haulage sector's green credentials.... King adds that the majority of freight is moved by road he hopes that discussions with government based on this document will help tackle the obstacles to an efficient road freight system, such as congestion...Labels: transport system plans
