[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The FTA (Freight Transport Association) is the UK’s largest trade membership association for the logistics industry. They say that improvements to air quality should be assisted through a national scrappage scheme.
Ahead of the anticipated Government’s Air Quality Plan announcement, the FTA believe that national level fiscal measures should be announced to enable small businesses and vehicle owners to meet the costs of operating in new Clean Air Zones (CAZs).
According to the FTA, a national scrappage scheme would support efforts to achieve air quality improvements whilst preventing an unsustainable burden falling on small businesses who fail to comply with CAZs, especially small and medium sized operators and those utilising vans or specialist HGVs.
