- Pays-Bas: une taxe au kilomètre pour le transport de marchandises
Comme nous l’avons déjà annoncé, les Pays-Bas renoncent à l’installation de portiques de péage pour le road-pricing et introduiront à la place une taxe au kilomètre. Des tests techniques, qui auront lieu à partir de 2003, devront déterminer quel système sera le plus adéquat. Si ce choix intervient rapidement, la taxe au kilomètre pour le transport de fret pourra être introduite avant fin 2003. C’est ce qu’a déclaré la ministre néerlandaise des Transports, Tineke Netelenbos, mardi après-midi lors du congrès NVVP ‘Choisir pour le renouvellement’ à Rotterdam. Netelenbos a dit que l’introduction de la taxe au kilomètre pour poids lourds est une conséquence du fait que l’Allemagne veut d’ici 2004 supprimer l’Eurovignette
et introduire un système de taxe au kilomètre pour poids lourds.

- Quand le camion charge, trie et décharge sa cargaison
La foire-exposition de Munich était cette année assurément fertile en nouveautés dans le domaine des équipements, qu’il s’agisse de wagons, de camions et autres engins de manutention. La firme allemande TLS Logistics GmbH, pour sa part, s’est distinguée avec la présentation d’un concept très particulier, à savoir le camion équipé de systèmes de chargement, triage et déchargement automatique. Concept assurément révolutionnaire, qui implique à la fois les entrepôts d’entreprises, mais aussi des wagons de chemins de fer pour autant que conçus en conséquence et pour des trafics spécifiques.
