This year we helped train 60 HGV drivers in partnership with Stamford and Lincoln Colleges. The two-year collaboration began in January with another 60 to be trained in 2024. Our training team then works with candidates to help get them job opportunities #RHASkills #LookingBack
10:00hrs - #A9 Scrabster - our team and Gow Groundworks working hard to clear debris following last evening landslip. Great effort in a short space to time, don't you agree? Passable with traffic control. Port open.

We welcomed £200m @DfT investment to drive down CO2 emissions from HGV fleets in the UK. The ZEHID Programme tests #netzero trucks to assure they perform as intended, helping our industry make the transition to #decarbonise #NetZeroForum #LookingBack #RHAInfrastructure

We estimate #NOx from HGVs has fallen by around 70% since 2013 through adoption of cleaner engines. Set to hit 80% in 2026. Chris Ashley said policies should better target sources of harmful #emissions . More here: bit.ly/3RxktvN #NetZeroForum

We are delighted that Secretary of State for Transport Mark Harper will deliver the keynote speech at our New Year reception next month.
We look forward to engaging with Parliamentarians on our key campaigns on, Skills, Net Zero, Costs and Regulations and Infrastructure.
We are incredibly dissappointed that the new National Planning Policy Framework has made no new provisions for lorry parking. Drivers need a safe and secure place to park #RHAInfrastructure rha.uk.net/news/news-blog…
Yesterday's Scottish Budget was disappointing with no regard for those working in Scotland's transport and logistics sector. '@ScotGov have again failed to show any support for those who are literally driving the country's economy.' Martin Reid tinyurl.com/ymr8dp36
Of course we welcome today's news from Office for National Statistics (ONS) that inflation has dropped. But if the Chancellor were to heed the advice of RHA News and its 8000+ members, and introduce a 15ppl Essential User Rebate #EUR , it could be so much better says Richard Smith rb.gy/febdq1
This year we voiced the concerns of haulage and coach firms to senior government officials over the Windsor Framework. The government listened to members and agreed to set up a working group of civil servants and the logistics community #RHAInternational #LookingBack
We held more than 50 regional briefings this year across the country updating our membership, over 3,000 people in total, on the latest in the world of compliance for operators of commercial vehicles #LookingBack
