An industry-led programme aimed at reducing emissions from freight and fleet operators in the UK capital was launched by Transport for London last week. 85% of London’s cargo is transported by road, with freight making up 17% of the capital’s road traffic.
Announced on January 27, the five-year ‘LoCITY’ programme will therefore work across the freight industry – bringing together fleet operators, vehicle manufacturers, fuel providers and the public sector – in order to increase the availability and uptake of low emission vans and lorries in London.
