Cost blocks trailer registration plan

THE GOVERNMENT HAS rejected a trailer registration scheme, citing excessive costs. Instead, it says, the Vosa MoT number can be used to track trailers over 3.5 tonnes.
The EC Whole Vehicle Type Approval Directive requires member states to register a unique number for vehicles and trailers: this has been seen as a chance to introduce trailer registration.
Geoff Day, head of engineering policy at the Freight Transport Association, says: -Trailer manufacturers will provide Vosa with the Certificate of Conformity documentation before the trailer leaves the factory/importer and a unique number will be issued."
For trailers under 3.5 tonnes he predicts a simpler procedure requiring the retailer to keep basic data, possibly for five years.
The DtT says it is working with operators to finalise plans.
