Current commerical vehicles have evolved to outstanding performance in the trunk-haul mode, enabling competitive times and costs over distances from a few miles to over a thousand. However, two pressures are now emerging to change a long established pattern: environmental pressure for alternative long haul modes, changing distribution practices in retail and high volume manufacture. The paper describes how investigations at manufacturers distribution and retailers for a recent project will be useful to plan and implement transportation and logistics system for the retail and high volume manufacturing industries. This will involve close integration between component or food manufacturers, mechanical handling companies, road, rail and air operators and truck, trailer and railway vehicle makers.
