As the economy grows, so do carbon emissions. In the UK, the Department for Transport predicts a significant increase in the volumes of freight imported into the UK by 2050, which, if our current way of moving freight continues, will see a 50 to 60% increase in heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic on our road networks. The impact on congestion and pollution will be significant, unless we plan to move freight differently, highlights Darren Briggs, Director, Consulting, ARUP.
