TML helped evaluate the European Parliament's study ‘The impact of mega-trucks’, which analyses the effects of long and heavy trucks (LHVs) in Europe. TML contributed to the evaluation report and the review meeting.
TML participated in the evaluation (peer review) of a European Parliament study called "The impact of mega-trucks". This project analyses current findings on long and heavy trucks (LHVs) and the potential impact if the use of these mega-trucks is allowed in Europe. In Finland and Sweden, LHVs are already allowed in normal traffic.
The study is based on a literature review of key research in the field and case studies on the experiences of five member states that allow or have tested LHVs. Moreover, available statistical data were analysed and the impact of mega-trucks in terms of road safety and greenhouse gas emissions in relation to EU targets were taken into account.
Besides preparing the study's evaluation report, TML participated in the review meeting on 5 September 2013. A video clip can be found here.
