Van Insurance - Haulage providers 'have faced the challenges of the last year'

Businesses using haulage services may be pleased to learn of the commitment of the sector to driving economic growth, despite the overridingly difficult conditions of the last 12 months.

According to the Freight Transport Association's (FTA's) Logistics Report 2012, the sector has responded well to numerous challenges over the last year and remains committed to delivering high standards, reducing emissions and ensuring road safety for all.

"The report evidences how the industry continues to respond in a challenging climate. Rising fuel costs coupled with tepid growth has put pressure on margins, despite which logistics firms continue to innovate," commented Coolin Desai, UK transport & logistics industry leader for PwC.

Earlier this month, the FTA published guidance for hauliers regarding the upcoming London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, highlighting the difficulties the industry is likely to face in terms of higher levels of congestion in the capital during the international sports showpiece.
