www.truckandtrack.com Autumn 2023 Truck and Track 3 RELEVANT AND INFORMATIVE by Barbara Ryan, Publishing Director, Truck and Track Once again, this Autumn issue of Truck and Track magazine provides an interesting mix of latest business news, significant orders, personal successes, product developments and industry legislation. Within the Business News section, we report on the growing relationship between Humber Port’s Logistics and Volvo with delivery of the first six of 25 13-litre FH 460 XL trucks delivered to Immingham. The port also welcomed the first UK demo of an electric-powered Volvo FM E-Truck as part of the port’s aim to hit its Net Zero target. Other business news includes the continuing growth of the Pallet-Track network with the addition pf Swanseabased Hall Brothers Distribution. We have also been informed that the Road Haulage Association (RHA) welcomes reports of Cambridge City Council planning to scrap its proposed congestion charge which would have seen HGVs and coaches facing £50 charges to enter the city. A new video series has been launched by Morris Lubricants on the company’s website, YouTube channel and other social channels. Hosted by well known truck mechanic, HGVs expert and TV presenter, Guy Martin shows how the correct oil can improve and avoid breakdowns whilst also providing an insight into the design of future, alternative commercial vehicle power options. Safety and security is also included in this issue with Vision UK highlighting the Progressive Safe System (PSS) which will be introduced in October 2024 by Transport for London. The company has developed its new pedestrian camera which is so effective that it eliminates the need for side sensor kits on HGVs. Staying with safety and security, our Dangerous Goods columnist explains the vital need for companies to successfully manage risk in the Dangerous Goods supply chain. We have also included news of several success stories in our Railfreight section including details of Nestle UK and Ireland delivering a unique rail container which facilitates double-stacked pallets to Tesco. Also, the final FEA-G intermodal wagons have now arrived in the UK, marking the successful delivery of a total 100 new intermodal wagons as well as 50 new JNA-X Box Wagons in a partnership between GB Railfreight (GBRf), Porterbrook and Greenbrier. I hope you will enjoy reading this latest issue. My team and I also hope you agree that Truck and Track is a publication that is both relevant and informative.
