Low Emission Zone * UK - Norwich could expand it to include trucks
Transport bosses in Norwich are looking at whether trucks should be included as part of the City's Low Emission Zone (LEZ)
Norwich,UK -The Road Transport/Commercial Motor, by Roger Brown -3 November 2008: -- ... Although only buses and coaches fall under the city's LEZ at present, it is possible the scheme could be expanded, depending on its success, according to Chris Mitchell, LEZ manager for Norfolk County Council... The aim is to deliver specific reductions in emissions of nitrogen oxides, small particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons... Currently, the main focus for reducing lorry emissions - through fewer journeys into the city centre - is the Norwich Freight Consolidation Centre, located to the southwest of the city and operated by Foulger Transport... Smaller HGVs are allowed to drive in the city's bus lanes provided they are using the consolidation centre... Mitchell adds: "This measure encourages retailers to use the consolidation centre as deliveries during congested periods can be guaranteed at a time rather than longer distance arrivals getting stuck in peak hour traffic."...
