The Industry Monitor 2023 surveys industry leaders to provide the essential guide to the state of the UK’s freight transport industry.
It analyses the challenges vehicle operators face, including rising costs, driver shortages, and the issues involved in going green.
It examines the strategies being adopted to ensure the success of businesses in this changing market. And it looks at anticipated buying patterns for the year ahead.
The report was compiled from independent Edge Insight research commissioned by Motor Transport and Commercial Motor, in partnership with Asset Alliance Group.
