AA callouts to pothole-damaged vehicles reach the highest level in five years

AA callouts to pothole-damaged vehicles reach the highest level in five years

New data collected by the AA’s Pothole Tracker shows that its patrols attended 46,650 vehicles with pothole-inflicted damage in June 2023 – the highest level in five years. Earlier this year in the Spring Budget 2023, the UK government pledged £200m in funding for road surface repairs. Whilst this has allowed some progress to be made by local authorities in repairing potholes along roads in built-up areas, drivers are continuing to experience what the AA has labelled a ‘rural plague of potholes’ on roads with a lower priority for...

Seven airports increase airport terminal drop-off prices

The summer holidays are almost upon us, which means many families will be flooding to the airport and setting off on trips abroad. But before you volunteer to chauffeur your friends and loved ones to the airport, you should prepare yourself for record-high terminal drop-off prices.

New Public Charge Point Regulations are welcomed by the motoring industry

The UK government has pushed new Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 which aim to improve the charging experience for electric vehicle drivers.

Thermal cloak for electric vehicles could improve charging speed and range

Thermal cloak for electric vehicles could improve charging speed and range

Researchers at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China have created a new ‘thermal cloak’ for electric vehicle batteries, designed to keep them warm during the winter and cool during the summer for optimal performance. According to charge point operator Osprey, the lithium-ion batteries in most electric vehicles have an optimum temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius. This is because the batteries rely on a chemical reaction to store and release electricity, which can be interrupted by high or low temperatures. In cold weather, this chemical reaction is...

Fleet managers sought to help deliver new apprenticeship standard for the sector

The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) is calling for up to twenty experienced fleet managers to work alongside the Institute for Apprenticeships and help deliver a new apprenticeship standard for the fleet sector.

Project leader and AFP member Matt Neale said, “Once the structure of the apprenticeship is finalised, the trailblazing group need to be ready to recruit... Read full article

Worst-polluting vehicles to pay double for parking under new payment structures

Worst-polluting vehicles to pay double for parking under new payment structures

Councils throughout the UK are implementing new car parking charges based on vehicle emissions, meaning that those driving the heaviest polluting vehicles could pay double. Several councils in the London area have already implemented these charges, and Lambeth is the latest to do so with 26 different charges for 1 hour of parking. The charge depends on the vehicle’s tax band and diesel surcharge. For example, parking for 1 hour at a bay near Waterloo station can cost between £6.30 and £13.23, depending on the above factors. These emissions-based... Read full article

The Department for Transport is set to fall short of its objectives for increasing active travel

The Department for Transport is set to fall short of its objectives for increasing active travel

The National Audit Office (NAO) recently revealed in a new report that the Department for Transport (DfT) will fall short of three out of its four objectives for increasing active travel by 2025. This comes after the DfT announced in March that it will cut two-thirds of the funding which was to be invested into walking and cycling – a move which is being challenged by the Transport Action Network. In 2020, the UK government promised thousands of miles of new, curb-protected cycleways with the aim of shifting active travel to be the natural choice for people... Read full article
