The first Scottish joint partnership to tackle freight issues was launched in Aberdeen on August 28.
The North East Scotland Freight Quality Partnership (FQP), backed by local authorities, business and environmental groups and operators of all modes of transport – road, rail, sea and air – aims to improve freight distribution to and from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Other FQP’s already exist across the UK and Bob Armstrong, the Freight Transport Association’s Scottish regional director, said: ‘Bringing together so many disparate groups, who all have an interest in the movement of freight in north-east Scotland, is a great achievement.’
