The Logistics Report 2016 details the challenges that the logistics sector has faced in the previous year and how it has responded to them, and also reflects on the many developments in logistics that will influence politicians and other stakeholders in the coming year.
FTA director of policy Karen Dee said: “2015 presented some real challenges for the logistics industry: a new Government determined to make its mark; growing uncertainty about the global economic slowdown not to mention on-going difficulties in recruiting the drivers and other skilled staff the industry needs. The Logistics Report – now in its seventh year – takes an in-depth look at how the industry has risen to these challenges as well as peering into the crystal ball to see what might lie ahead.”
The report will be available to visitors at the CV Show, which takes place 26-28 April at the NEC, Birmingham.
In addition, FTA staff will be on hand to talk to visitors about all their freight and logistics needs. The FTA will also demonstrate some of its products and services including Visionfta – an all-in-one compliance tool that uses the FTA’s tachograph analysis software to enable users to see driver details, check driving licences and view vehicle inspection reports and audits in one place.
Live Drive Pro will also be on show for the first time – a risk management tool that provides an alternative to traditional telematics and driver training. The tool offers real-time verbal feedback to help the driver understand how to drive more safely and efficiently.
