Transporting New Zealand says that getting higher capacity trucks on the road is essential to boosting freight productivity, as the Government opens consultation on simplifying heavy vehicle permitting.

The Green Fleet Self-Assessment tool outlines how fuel-efficient driver training and technologies, vehicle procurement standards, route planning, carbon reporting and setting reduction targets can help businesses and their customers meet sustainability goals.

Transport Minister Chris Bishop has announced that the Government is committing nearly $1.2 billion to see its Roads of National Significance (RONS) programme move to the next phase of development.  

We’ve probably all seen the media attention around the number of businesses being liquidated at the moment. The transport industry, and road freight in particular, appear to have seen large rises in liquidations. Often it’s Inland Revenue that initiate these.

We’re excited to announce that our industry magazine Transporting News is getting an update, starting in December.

Bipartisan commitment to the RoNS programme is needed to avoid the risk of costly cancellations and further disruptions to the infrastructure pipeline.
