  • Chiltern Transport Goes Green!

    GREENLIGHT FOR LONGER SEMI-TRAILERS

    Great Britain’s roads introduces longer-semi trailers following legislation approval, from May 31st 2023.

    Pallet Network members Chiltern Transport found the additional space that allows up to 8 additional pallets spaces, supporting their aim of achieving reduced road emissions.

    It is expected that LSTs will create almost £1.4 billion in net economic benefits by ensuring more goods are carried on fewer vehicles, supporting productivity and boosting the economy.

    Introducing LSTs is an important, easy and affordable measure to continue to reduce CO2 emissions from the haulage industry without significant technological and infrastructure development, as the government continues to work closely with the sector to ensure all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) are zero-emission by 2040.
