TRODUCTION of tachoaphs on a compulsory basis due on January 1 next for iw vehicles and January 1, 178 for old vehicles— must deferred. This is a main ijective of the FreightTransirt Association, its presi!nt Mr Bob Beckham made tar this week in Nottingim.
The FTA had two reasons r this attitude the country uld not afford the £100m pit& cost or the £250m a ar recurring costs; and it uld not afford the massive, dustrial strife promised by e unions. Mr Beckham gretted that the Minister id been unable to give a lead this field. Until he did so the A was advising its memTs to take no action on 7,hographs. Mr Beckham said that anyone who doubted the FTA view should read between the lines of official DoE statements. The message was clear,\ he said, the compulsory tachograph requirement would have to be deferred and we could expect
Government action immediately after the EEC referendum.
