Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Swedish road hauliers benefits from generous C&U regs. with 24m maximum train lengths and a GCW limit soon to rise to 56 tonnes.

But the krnitax payable by commercial users has just increased by up to 137%, so with Sweden's high labour costs, special-purpose bodywork and mechanical handling aids are becoming worthwhile investments. Examples of such innovations seen at the recent transport exhibition at Jonkoping included a Combiroll system from Kapell Maserna for general haulage and TIR operation.

It highlighted the benefits of a side-curtain combined with fast opening by means of a spring-loaded top roller. A new design for full-access bodies shown by A-Trans of Holmsund featured hydraulic actuation of the combined roo: and sidewall, enabling it to be opened and closed within 30 seconds.
