1) Increases of up to 2.05m in semi-trailer length will give the greatest benefits. Do you agree?
2) What costs would firms expect to incur, and benefits gain, from the use of vehicles with an increased length?
3) Are you paid per load or per pallet, and how are rates decided?
4) What pressure are you under to invest in the largest available vehicles, even where this means oper ating on part loads at reduced fuel efficiency?
5) Assuming the requirement is for high-volume semi-trailers to comply with existing standards, how could commercial development of the active steering technology be maintained?
6) The DfT does not plan changes to the UK road infrastructure if longer trailers are introduced. Is this the right policy and what issues may arise? See www.roadtransport.com for questions in full
