FTA publishes 17th European Road Transport Guide

Date: 1/5/2012

The latest European Road Transport Guide for UK-based firms has been published by the Freight Transport Association (FTA).

This is the 17th edition of the guide and aims to give companies all the information they need when visiting foreign countries.

Several updates have been included in the latest publication, including new data on the Netherlands, Estonia and Poland.

Liechtenstein and Monaco are also now included, while the 2012 edition features updated information on public holidays, toll prices, weekend lorry bans and other essential tips fleet operators may need to know.

Don Armour, FTA's International Manager and editor of the guide, said: "Comments or amendments from those who are actually on the road play an important part in making sure that the guide is always as up-to-date and relevant as possible."

The Michelin Group recently launched a new safety initiative via Facebook called Tom European Tour that aims to educate young people or those who are learning to drive about the differences when motoring on the continent compared with British roads.
