13.3. Design innovations in lorries
Development and innovative solutions concerning improvement of lorry cargo
handling cycles should come down to building freight road transport oriented
systems 8 . Innovative thinking in this area means the development of production
technology and infrastructure facilities, which are at the disposal of:
– transport operators, performing transport service for the cargo, working
as intermediaries between shippers, forwarders and hauliers;
