A COUNTERBLAST to the adverse PI publicity that is being given to diesel exhaust fumes is planned by Traders' Road Transport Association.
Mr. H. R. Featherstone, thc national secretary, says: "There is a distinct danger that a false impression will be built up in the public mind and that they will fail to realize that the vast majority of vehicles are blameless in this respect.
"It is all the more important, therefore, that the few who are not blameless shall take action immediately to prevent road transport from getting a bad name."
Member-firms who have not a regular system of inspection and maintenance arc being urged to institute one immediately on the grounds that in several cases the fault lies in inadequate maintenance. The T.R.T.A. National Council have discussed the situation and various possibilities are under consideration.
