SHOULD THE MAXIMUM LENGTH AND WEIGHT OF TRUCKS BE INCREASED? A REVIEW OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH

Abstract

This paper reviews recent research undertaken in Europe to assess the benefits and costs of a wider introduction of longer and heavier trucks. It presents an analytical framework for this assessment and examines the difficulties of quantifying three key variables: degree of load consolidation, freight modal shift and induced freight traffic growth.
