This, the first of series of actions being brought by Pengco against Ray Smith Demountables for infringement of copyright and patents.
Storage space
TANKFREIGHT has been granted planning permission to develop a new rail-fed bulk storage terminal on a site at Eastleigh, Southampton. Construction work on the six-acre site is expected to begin later this year with completion in autumn of 1977.
The initial storage capacity will be around 10,000cum (13,000cuyd) for petrol products. There will be space for expansion into chemicals and fuel oil at a later date.
Spreading wings
EAGLE spares and service depot at Bathgate near Glasgow is to expand to take in the assembly of tanker bodies and the Retreever refuse wagons.
The 278sqm (3,000sqft) depot started life as the spares and service depot for operators using Eagle, Dennis and Yorkshire vehicles in Scotland and the North of England.
More s'il vous plait
FRENCH hauliers have got permission to increase their domestic haulage rates by 5 per cent and they have immediately applied for permission to increase them by a further 7.8 per cent from June 1.
The decision to ask for the new rise came after a meeting of the French professional organisation, the National Road Transport Committee. The French hauliers are hoping that the French Government will reach a quick decision on whether they can have the latest increase.
