Road Transport Bodies Slam CAZ Plans

Pricing trucks off the road in towns and cities is not the way to reduce emissions in Clean Air Zones (CAZ), and targeting hauliers is unfair, a coalition of road transport trade bodies has said.

The Road Haulage Association (RHA), British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association (BVRLA), Freight Transport Association (FTA) and National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) are concerned that local authorities are rushing through CAZ plans with scant regard for hauliers.

The trade bodies met with transport minister Jesse Norman and environment minister Thérèse Coffey to discuss a joint six-point plan for CAZs. The plan – ‘The Way Forward’ – sets out recommendations these four trade bodies believe can help improve air quality while protecting haulage from punitive charges and bureaucracy.
