TRANSPORT: The conflict between operating efficiency and environmental factors

Abstract

The popular view of the lorry is that it is frequently frustrating to car drivers, an agent of exhaust pollution, and an affront to the environment. Yet our system of communications is such that its continued use is unavoidable, if essential supplies are to be maintained. Legislation, however, by attempting to control the size of lorries is adding to already growing distribution costs. At the recent National Conference of the Centre for PDM, Alan West of RHM Foods Ltd described how his company is meeting the problem.
