Freight

• From: Department for Transport, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, and Dangerous goods team

An efficient freight transportation system is important for the UK economy. We’re working to make sure goods are moved safely and securely in the UK and abroad. We also need to move goods at reasonable cost and with minimum impact on the environment and communities. We’re working with the industry to help reduce costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
