Changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law in Australia are expected to have positive impacts for society by enabling larger, newer trucks to operate more easily in the road network.   Having previously advised the National Transport Commission on these and other reforms, in our latest article, our economist Anna Wilson unpacks some of the outcomes from the most recent changes proposed, and outlines how we might expect larger, trucks to drive efficiency in the freight sector. #roads #transport #economics #heavyvehicles

Just observing, offering no view. Quoting: “Chinese electric vehicles are an existential threat to the American auto industry. Ohio knows all too well how China illegally subsidizes its companies, putting our workers out of jobs and undermining entire industries, from steel to solar manufacturing. We cannot allow China to bring its government-backed cheating to the American auto industry. The U.S. must ban Chinese electric vehicles now, and stop a flood of Chinese government-subsidized cars that threaten Ohio auto jobs, and our national and economic security,” said Brown. https://lnkd.in/d4aZXmmW

Below is a short discussion of reforms to the Heavy Vehicle National Law. It is a good example of how work to adapt and improve existing regulatory arrangements can be crucial in improving productivity and enabling innovation.

Good article on the current state of EV in the EU.

🚘 Chinese EVs Flood European Ports The influx of electric vehicles (EVs) from China is creating congestion in European ports and car parks, testing logistics and space management. This growing trend underscores the impact of China's aggressive EV export strategy on European infrastructure and the urgent need for strategic planning and capacity enhancement to accommodate this new wave of imports. #ElectricVehicles #EuropeanPorts #Logistics #ChinaEVs #AutoIndustry #Infrastructure #TradeImpact #Transportation #SupplyChainManagement #Innovation 🔗 Chinese EVs clogging European ports, car parks https://lnkd.in/dqTfpaDV

China's electric vehicle industry has drawn criticism from the US and the EU for government subsidies and industrial policies. Since they're so interested, let's discuss China's industrial policy. What did the Chinese government do right (or wrong) with electric vehicles? #EV #US

We continue to roll out the emails providing the link for operators to opt in to the Road Haulage Association (RHA)’s Truck Cartel Claim. Please continue to check your emails over the coming days as the roll out is staggered due to the size of the claim. The RHA brought this claim as what lawyers describe as a “follow-on legal action”. The European Commission fined the European truck manufacturers (DAF, MAN, Iveco, Volvo/Renault, Daimler and Scania) over £3.4bn for serious violations of EU competition rules as they were found to have fixed prices and delayed the introduction of more fuel-efficient emissions technologies. The manufacturers’ guilt has already been proven and the RHA believes that this resulted in operators paying too much for their trucks during the cartel period (1997 to 2011) and for a period of time after this. Broadly speaking, operators should be entitled to be reimbursed for the difference between what you paid for your trucks and what you would have paid if the cartel had not existed.   You must opt in to the claim to secure your ability to receive compensation through the RHA’s efforts. The claim is open to operators who purchased or leased trucks over 6 tonnes between 1997 and January 2014 for new trucks or January 2015 for used trucks. Full details of the claim are set out in the Rule 81 Notice here: https://lnkd.in/eWejGUrk                                                               If you have any questions about the claim please contact us at [email protected] or join one of our webinars here https://lnkd.in/ebZfRdqJ

Sen. Brown Calls for Black-Out of Chinese-Made Electric Vehicles https://lnkd.in/g3chGHPK auto connected car newsU.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is calling for the U.S. to ban Chinese-made electric vehicles to protect Ohio autoworkers, and to combat the economic and national security threats posed by Chinese automakers. In a letter to President Biden, the senator warned that Chinese cars, made by companies controlled and subsidized by the Chinese Communist Party, present an existential threat to the American auto industry, and that tariffs alone are insufficient to stop a government-orchestrated attack on an entire sector of our economy. “Chinese electric vehicles are an existential threat to the American auto industry.
