Ministerial Freight Advisory Council Completing in 2012-13 projects with matched

State and Commonwealth funding:

• Community attitudes to freight study

• Urban freight access study

and today we will discuss:

• Investigation into freight technology uptake

Freight Technology MFAC is well-placed to advise Government in supporting uptake of new technology

• Adoption of new technologies over the coming decades will have profound effects on productivity, safety and travel behaviour on the transport network.

• To support uptake, MFAC and government should understand emerging technologies and their current uptake in Victoria
