An Exploration of Attitudes and Perceptions of Freight Operators in Ireland toward adopting Bio-methane Fuelled Heavy Good Vehicles (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Kanellos, N., Plant, E., Zhnag, X., & Abraham, V. (in press). An Exploration of Attitudes and Perceptions of Freight Operators in Ireland toward adopting Bio-methane Fuelled Heavy Good Vehicles.

Road transport accounts for 75% of all transport related emissions. Within road transport, road freight contributes around 40% of the emissions, posing significant obstacles to achieving decarbonisation goals (deSaxe et al., 2023). Cleaner energy fue...

Behavioural Antecedents of Inter-firm Linkages in the Irish Road Freight Industry (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Plant, E., & McGovern, J. (2011). Behavioural Antecedents of Inter-firm Linkages in the Irish Road Freight Industry. In Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Conference of the Universities’ Transport Studies Group

The Irish road haulage industry exhibits a structure dominated by single-vehicle owner-managed operators. This has implications for the Irish economy through reduced efficiency. It is crucial that Ireland’s transport policies sustain its trade-depen... Read More about Behavioural Antecedents of Inter-firm Linkages in the Irish Road Freight Industry.
