www.truckandtrack.com Autumn 2022 Truck and Track 3 FOREWORD by Barbara Ryan, Publishing Director, Truck and Track I’m writing this introduction just a few days after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She touched the hearts of many people across the globe and, throughout her reign, she personified grace, humility and kindness. She also exhibited a resolute determination to fulfil her calling with faithfulness and cheerfulness. I hope that all our readers will have had the opportunity to reflect on the Queen’s unfailing service and to remember her with great love and compassion. Within this latest issue of Truck and Track you will find many articles focusing on the importance of safety across different industries and environments. Understandably, vehicle safety is prominent, with contributions from Vision UK and WH Malcolm which has extended its use of CCTV camera technology to enhance the safety of its drivers and employees on-site. Elsewhere, we report on new data that shows vital improvements in lorry safety in London, a year on from the launch of TfL’s world-first Direct Vision Standard. Labeline, which is celebrating the opening of its Central European office and warehouse in the Netherlands, highlights the importance of consignors to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser. On the same theme, Cargo Training International draws attention to specialist training for shippers, agents, forwarders and airlines who handle and transport dangerous goods by air, sea and road. Alongside safety considerations, Descartes Systems Group outlines 14 ways to cut your company’s fuel costs while TruTac describes its latest app which, in addition to the core vehicle walkaround checking function, now includes much closer integration with the company’s other products. The new app offers a wealth of additional features and functions available to operators and drivers alike. The importance of ports and rail freight are also featured in this issue with news of Welsh slate being transported to Luton whilst, staying in Wales, we report on Associated British Ports appointing a lead for the prestigious Port Talbot Transformation Programme.
