• Dave Rowlands, Wincanton technical director, says: “Longer semitrailers will be integrated into our fleet as a key element of our strategy.” • Mark Cuskeran, MD at SDC Trailers, says: “We’ve developed and tested three extended trailer products and this now puts us in a strong position to meet demand. We’ve secured production and supply of steering axles and believe that puts us ahead of the game.”
• Stobart Group chief operating ofワcer William Stobart says: “The environmental benefits they bring fit well within our policy of developing sustainable distribution solutions.”
• Andy Mair, FTA head of engineering policy, says: “The allocation process of trailers should seek to maximise the potential carbon-saving benefit that their deployment could yield.” • Jack Semple, RHA director of policy, says: “We welcome [Penning’s] commitment to minimise any disadvantage there might be to smaller firms. It’s clear the industry is split on the issue of longer trailers.”
