Moving Freight with Better Trucks
Improving Safety, Productivity and Sustainability
This report identifies potential improvements in terms of more effective safety and
environmental regulation for trucks, backed by better systems of enforcement, and
identifies opportunities for greater efficiency and higher productivity.
The report is based on a review of literature, consultation among stakeholders, and
research and analysis from working group members. It also presents the results of
a comprehensive benchmarking study of 39 truck configurations in operation around
the world – from typical workhorse vehicles to very high capacity vehicles – and assesses
their performance in terms of dynamic stability, productivity and impact on the infrastructure.
