EMISSIONS TRADING * Australia - Include fuel in ETS or trucking industry will suffer
Sydney,Australia -Supply Chain Review -July 04, 2008: -- Ross Garnaut’s Climate Change Review has reignited concerns in the trucking industry over diesel prices as well as claims of an exodus to other transport modes if fuel is excluded from emissions trading... Garnaut says the Rudd Government must include transport and fuel in its emissions trading scheme, leading Australian Trucking Association (ATA) Chairman Trevor Martyn to say diesel prices will skyrocket on top of record-high levels... But emissions trading may also fast track moves to higher productivity vehicles, with Chairman Trevor Martyn saying the ATA will be ramping up efforts to push governments to allow the industry to use B-triples between capital cities... The trucks can carry more freight than conventional combinations, meaning fewer trucks are needed on the road, in turn slashing transport emissions... (Picture: Aussie's B-triples truck)
