*URGENT* The HTA is working alongside other trade associations regarding #DVS (#DirectVisionStandard) and would encourage operators to complete the joint industry survey from the Road Haulage Association https://lnkd.in/eqZJ49FX by 6pm TODAY (Friday 23 Feb 2024). This survey follows-up on the TfL survey with some additional questions to build a full picture on the ability of businesses to meet the new DVS Progressive Safe System (PSS) requirement from October 2024. #AbnormalLoad #WideLoad #HeavyHaulage #Abload #HeavyHaulage

Did you know that Section 22 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) also regulates the vehicle dimensions for trucks? The dimensions for loading height, width and length are precisely defined here. For example, a truck without a trailer may be a maximum of 12 m long, with a trailer 18.75 m. The length of an articulated truck is 16.50 m, the width 2.55 m. The maximum width for refrigerated vehicles is 2.60 m. The standard for the maximum height of trucks is 4 m. Such legal regulations are primarily intended to ensure safe driving on German roads. For example, to prevent trucks from getting stuck in tunnels or under bridges. The dimensions are also intended to ensure safe distances in the normal flow of traffic. This applies to the whole of Europe. Exceptions for certain vehicle types must be applied for. Incidentally, anyone who violates the provisions of the StVO can be fined. Every vehicle manufacturer or supplier will therefore check the dimensions of the components and systems they represent and install very carefully. https://lnkd.in/ew2azw-k #standards #commercialvehicles #edschats

Car handling in ports on constantly high levels 🚗📈 Global vehicle throughput at ports has shown a significant recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 10.5% increase in 2023, though figures remain slightly below the 2018 peak, while some ports, such as Bremen/Bremerhaven, continue to experience declines.

Fun fact for your day: The word traffic originally meant "trade" and still technically does. It comes from the Italian verb trafficare. If you think about it, historical areas of pedestrian trade probably had the most traffic (in the contemporary sense) before the invention of motor vehicles. #trafficmanagement #publicsafety #trafficcontrol #roadsafety #centralttm

LSM TrainSense™ (Int. pat. pend.) technology is the solution to avoid such HPI / Collision events where warning signs, penalties and impact barriers do nothing to mitigate such catastrophic events. LSM TrainSense™ requires no other intervention and provides the Driver with Alerts when approaching Level Rail Crossings, whether they are active or not. AEB can also be integrated into LSM TrainSense™. #lsmbridgesense, #lsmtrainsense #bridgeengineering #bridgesense #bridgeimpact #bridgedesign #bridges #bridgecollision #teamlsm #railwaysafety #technology #innovation #creativity

➡ DO YOU REMEMBER? 🚛💼💼 Truck&Bus: Road Safety First! 💼🚛 Start on 19 February 2024!! 🛑 Remember to put safety first? The long-awaited coordination of Europe's traffic police, Roadpol, is about to kick off three weeks of extraordinary roadside checks targeting trucks and buses, known as Truck&Bus. 👉 The first series of 2024 checks is scheduled from Monday, Feb. 19 to Sunday, Feb. 25, and will take place in close cooperation with the European Labor Authority. The checks will cover every aspect of road safety, from the vehicles themselves to the condition of drivers. 🚛 Items such as the technical condition, size and weight of vehicles, as well as driving licenses, compliance with driving and rest times and the regularity of the tachograph for drivers will be closely examined. Truck loading and accompanying transport documents will not be overlooked either. 📌 The other two weeks of 2024 Truck&Bus checks will take place May 15-19 and November 11-17.Road safety is a top priority! We are always on your way. welcome@comeco.world #TrafficSafety #TruckandBus #Roadpol #EuropeanLabourAuthority #SafetyViability #Logistic

Interesting times ahead

Here’s our takeaways from the Commercial Vehicle Show, which is currently underway at Birmingham's NEC.    From an innovations perspective, #zeroemission technology dominated. There were some really interesting developments from SAIC Motor, Canoo and Munro Vehicles - with great visibility for their #zeroemission vehicles.   It’s great to see that sustainability is at the forefront of the UK's largest road freight transport and logistics event. What’s also exciting are the number of up and coming developers presenting their zero emission solutions, challenging traditional commercial vehicle manufacturers to think hard about how they can help fleet managers meet 2035 emissions deadlines.   #TheCVShow #freight #roadtransport #fleetmanagement #logisitcs #tradeshow #transportmanager #transportoperators
