Its that time of year when the Governments rumor machine is in top gear producing pre-budget rumors to condition us to what may or may not happen in the budget.
The latest one seem to be the proposed imitation or exclusion of the use of red diesel in everything other than farming , we will have to see if anything comes of that in due course .
But other than the increased cost of fueling machine on derv what changes do you think it would it be likely to make to construction use ?
I'm wondering if there would be more off road highway type trucks used as opposed to ADT's like you see in some of mainland Europe because they provide better MPG or more tractor and trailers used on the highway but using derv instead of Red diesel ?
I would imagine there would be a sharp increase in Customs and excise dipping tanks on tractors with low loader trailers on the road , and a tightening up of the meaning of "agricultural" in transport terms that is probably a good thing.
