About

Crown Commercial Service awarded a contract to MDS Transmodal Limited for the Future of Freight Demand Scenarios study, valued at AUD 63,579.

The study, commissioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in November 2017, assessed freight's impact on urban congestion and UK carbon emissions, examined the future of inter-city freight movements, and considered emerging technologies to improve efficiency and environmental impact.

It also addressed the economic role of freight, decarbonisation options, and infrastructure and regulation adaptations for new technology.

The contract supported the production of an interim report in Autumn 2018 and a final report in Spring 2019 with recommendations for delivering an efficient and low-carbon freight system over the coming 30 years.
