Cost-benefit data will lead low-carbon truck uptake

摘要

Research published by LoCity unsurprisingly confirms that ULEVs (ultra-low emission vehicles) are critical to improving air quality in London - but that a lack of cost-benefit data is currently holding back operators. The LoCity scheme - which involves more than 600 organisations from the CV industry, government and academia - was set up four months ago to encourage availability and uptake of low-emission trucks and vans. London transport commissioner Mike Brown also warns that, without information on alternative fuels and the required infrastructure, transport operators are finding it hard to justify the purchase of ULEVs.
