FTA backs London Clean Air Fund

The Freight Transport Association (FTA) is urging operators to do their part in supporting the Mayor of London’s Clean Air Fund, aimed at improving air quality in the capital.

Natalie Chapman, FTA head of policy for London, says: “Reducing engine idling, even for short periods, reduces engine emissions and improves local air quality.

“By cutting fuel consumption it saves money too,” he adds. “Many of our members already employ best practice to reduce excessive idling, and we are happy to support a campaign which will help raise awareness across even more commercial vehicle operators in and around London.”
