4. Right choice of tyresTyre pressure monitoring Alignment of axlesImproved engine technology Dynamic route planning Fleet management & Navigation Adaptive cruise controlMeasure & control driving style Increase loading capacity Improved Aerodynamics Innovations continue – immediate possibilities! (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2013

5. Allow Innovation Weight & Dimensions Allow for longer and heavier vehicle combinations for:  Improved aerodynamics and safety for the entire vehicle combination – tractor and trailer !  Increased load capacity !  Efficiency gains e.g. through the use of EMS in pan-European operations Reduction in number of trips by 32%Reduction in number of trips by 32% Reduction of fuel consumption by 15%Reduction of fuel consumption by 15% Reduction of CO 2 emission by 15%Reduction of CO 2 emission by 15% Innovation should be encouraged  Railways want to stop innovation in road transport – why?

6. Smart Drivers – train & award (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2013

7. Smart Drivers – train and inform (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2013 Improved information Use dynamic traffic information and route guidance to guide and steer (also EMC) traffic Better planning Ensure dynamic and live updates of all situations to ensure full utilisation of infrastructure, including the provision of dynamic parking information and optimised vehicle capacity. Improved driving style Encourage Eco-driving training and incentivise transport operators to invest in such systems.

8. Clean driving (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2013 Intensify work on finding alternatives to oil for HGVs. Incentivise the use of these alternatives directly for transport operators – e.g. by providing weight exemptions. Test new concepts and innovate.
