About
National Highways awarded a contract to WSP for a study on the technical feasibility of trialling Longer Heavier Vehicles (LHVs) on Great Britain's roads, as part of the Government's commitment to decarbonise road transport, improve air quality, and enhance freight movement efficiency.
The study, supported by Risk Solutions and Apollo Vehicle Safety, delivered a final report in December 2023 recommending pilot trials of LHV combinations with a small number of operators on specific routes under tight restrictions to build experience of safe operations and inform any future LHV trials.
The contract value was AUD 29,381.2.
