THE SCIENCE Research Council has given a E19,000 grant to the Transport Studies Group at the Polytechnic of Central London to enable it to study the economics of distribution using demountable swap bodies.
The council says that there has been little effort to look at the way; in which the problems of distribution have been solved by the lase of swap bodies.
The research will be carried out by PCL director of studies Rigas Doganis with senior research fellow James Cooper and they will be aiming at assessing the changes in the unit cost of vehicles with the use of demountables compared with the comparable conventionally-bodied vehicles.
