TRAILERS HEIGHT DEBATE * Europe

* Belgium - FTA ups the pressure on EC to stop 4m trailer height limit


Brussels,Belgium -Road Transport (UK), by Chris Druce -3 November 2011: -- The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is ratcheting up the pressure on UK and European politicians alike, with plans for a rally in Brussels, as fears grow that a 4m trailer height will be foisted on UK hauliers... Although initially thought unlikely, European Commission (EC) plans to introduce a standard 4m trailer height for single deck trailers across the region have failed to go away, with the EC’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles sticking to its guns despite fierce opposition from the UK... The FTA says up to 80% of the UK’s trailer parc runs at 4.2m.

Double-deck trailers will be allowed under revised regulations...
