Longer Trailers * UK - Wincanton: Are possible in 18 months
London,UK -Road Transport, by Kevin Swallow -8 March 2010: -- Although the road transport industry is still assessing the case for longer semi-trailers, logistics operator Wincanton believes they could be an operational reality within 18 months... Wincanton technical service director Dave Rowlands says, longer semi-trailers, matching the 18.75m overall length of drawbar applications, represent a big opportunity for the industry... The supply chain provider is working with consultants assessing the Department for Transport's drive towards sustainable transport. Wincanton supplied eight detailed case studies from different sectors of the industry to consultants looking into the potential of longer semis, and says more than 48,000 journeys could potentially benefit from longer trailers, cutting out around 2.1 million miles and 1.1 million litres of fuel, equating to 2.9 million kg of CO2...
