Just about any RM van or lorry runs on diesel. It might force RM long term to move some offices (probably all DOs) out of towns onto industrial estates

Cycles never polluted as much. Diesel engines for stop/start, low mileage work is clinical stupidity.

Not only that,but any firm that delivers to any place in London will have to put their charges up to cover the extra cost of diesel,so that means a increase in the cost of living

Would have to pay me £20 a day to drive a diesel in London!!

Ask Royal Mail if you don't believe me :)

I think Lorry companies should boycott deliveries to town centres especially London, as they are Diesel powered, let see how long London will last without supplies, lets see how that useless Mayor Khan sort that one out !

Then London can claim it is working due to cut of pollution.

Worryingly you're probably right, Useless Khan would put a spin on it, he doesn't have to queue like the rest of us for food and supplies.

mount pleasant in london will be trailing several 5.50 and 7.40 fully electric lorrys very soon being lent to them by a compony as a test site.
the chargers are in place all i know is the radius is only around 60 miles to my knowledge.
