Weight sensors for lorries: effective, affordable, reliable

January 16, 2014

This briefing summarises the findings of a new study by RappTrans, commissioned by Transport & Environment, the European Transport Workers’ Federation, the Belgian federal state and Walloon Region, which shows how this problem can be tackled with an effective, reliable and affordable solution.
