| Objectives | The objectives of the study were to: 1. Identify the freight industrys overall awareness of the freight element of TEBP 2. To identify the level of take up and use of TEBP freight publications 3. To obtain feedback on TEBP publications, assessing accessibility, usefulness and relevance. This focused on key publications such as GPG307, GPCS398, RHMF001 and the Freight Future Newsletter 4. Evaluate the adoption of best practice resulting from TEBP freight publications 5. Provide feedback on barriers to further take up thus informing future development of the programme 6. Gather information on other sources of information used by operators to assist in assessing the additionality of TEBP 7. Evaluate cost savings and CO2 reduction resulting from the actions taken by the freight industry. | |
