* Spain - Truckers concerned over plans to force them on to toll highways
* Industry suspicious about government proposal to stop heavy vehicles using regular roads
-- Truck drivers are worried about a new plan by Spain’s government to force heavy vehicles off conventional roads and on to toll highways wherever possible... The sector fears that the Public Works Ministry’s proposal will tack additional costs on to their business, since the government is only planning to subsidize 50 percent of the road tolls truckers will have to pay as a result... Industry representatives are not certain that the shorter routes will save them enough on fuel to compensate for the new expense... There are around 310,000 commercial trucks circulating on Spanish roads, of which 220,000 are heavy vehicles, according to official figures... The ministry claims that the new regulations will improve road safety and reduce accident rates... Madrid,Spain -El País, by VIRGINIA LÓPEZ ENANO -30 Ene 2015
