‘Mega Freight Trucks threaten roads’ MEP

An MEP who is also UKIP’s Transport spokesman says that extra long freight lorries will result in deaths, road wear congestion and pollution.  Weight limits have been increased in Finland from 60 to 70 tonnes, and in Sweden trails are under way for 80 tonnes weight limits. He contests that the mega trucks would also undermine rail freight, whereas a single freight train can remove u to 60 HGVs from the roads.
