Projekti cestnega prometa, ki potekajo po Evropi

Ustvarjeno: 12. 03. 2025

Posodobljeno: 12. 03. 2025

Leta 2023 bo 83,4 % cestnega prometa v EU v tonskih kilometrih opravljenega s težkimi tovornimi vozili, katerih največja dovoljena masa naloženega vozila presega 30 ton.

Industrija cestnega prometa v Evropi doživlja velike spremembe, ki jih spodbujajo tehnološki napredek in trajnostni cilji. Te spremembe bi lahko bile za sektor tovornega prometa bistvene za ohranjanje konkurenčnosti v hitro razvijajoči se panogi. Raziskali bomo nekatere spremembe, ki bodo začele veljati letos, in prihodnje napredke.

Projekti gradnje cestne infrastrukture.

Razvoj avtoceste A-7 od Crevillente do Alhama de Murcia

Gradnja avtoceste med Crevillente in Alhamo v Murcii se je začela v četrtem četrtletju leta 2024, dokončanje pa je predvideno leta 2030. Projekt bo zagotovil najsodobnejšo cestno prometno infrastrukturo, izboljšal raven storitev in potovanj na dolge razdalje med območji.

Koristi za prevoznike:

Izboljšanje pretočnosti prometa, zmanjšanje zastojev in skrajšanje potovalnega časa. Upravljavci voznih parkov bodo imeli koristi od nižjih stroškov goriva in vzdrževanja ter večje logistične učinkovitosti.

Avtocesta D11: Trutnov do meje s Poljsko

Ta projekt, ki se bo začel izvajati v četrtem četrtletju leta 2024, obsega 21,17 km štiripasovne avtoceste od Trutnova do poljske meje v regiji Hradec Kralove. Projekt je del avtoceste D11, ki povezuje Prago, Hradec, Kraljevo in Trutnov s poljskim mejnim prehodom.

Koristi za prevoznike:

Izboljšanje čezmejne povezljivosti ter skrajšanje potovalnega časa in zastojev. Štiripasovna avtocesta bo znižala stroške goriva, izboljšala prometno varnost ter zagotovila zanesljivo in hitrejšo pot.

Razvoj predora A5

Cilj predora A5 v Madridu, ki naj bi bil dokončan leta 2027, je zmanjšati prometne zastoje in zagotoviti najsodobnejšo prometno infrastrukturo za prebivalce regije. Projekt bo izboljšal kakovost zraka, onesnaženost s hrupom in mobilnost.

Koristi za prevoznike:

Izboljšanje pretočnosti prometa, zmanjšanje zastojev ter hitrejša in zanesljivejša pot za prevoz tovora.

Praška obvoznica: Bečovice - odsek avtoceste D1

Na 12,6 km ceste med Bechovicami in avtocesto D1 v Pragi bo zgrajenih šest voznih pasov - dokončanje v četrtem četrtletju leta 2027. Ta projekt je eden od preostalih odsekov, s katerimi bo dokončan praški obroč.

Koristi za prevoznike:

Gladko in hitrejše premikanje tovornih vozil - večja učinkovitost prevoza.

A47 od severnega Tuddenhama do Eastona

Med North Tuddenhamom in Eastonom v Norfolku v Združenem kraljestvu potekajo načrti za nadgradnjo obstoječe 9-kilometrske enopasovne avtoceste A47 v dvopasovnico. Zaključek je predviden v četrtem četrtletju leta 2026.

Koristi za prevoznike:

Z izgradnjo vodovoda na tem odseku se bo zagotovilo bolj dosledno potovanje, kar bo zmanjšalo zamude in zmanjšalo stroške goriva.

Tehnološke spremembe.

Infrastruktura za polnjenje električnih vozil

Do leta 2030 naj bi evropski trg električnih tovornjakov dosegel 15 %, kar kaže na pomembnost širitve in prehoda na trajnostni promet. V infrastrukturo za polnjenje električnih tovornjakov v Evropi bo predvidoma vloženih 15 milijard EUR.

Truckpark 2049 obravnava, kje bo industrija na področju infrastrukture, potrebne za električno polnjenje na postajališčih za tovornjake. Električna vozila bodo do leta 2049 povsod po svetu - vozni parki bodo opazili takojšnje finančne koristi in poželi sadove učinkovitega upravljanja vozil.

Dron v Italiji spremlja promet

Italija je uvedla drone za spremljanje stanja na cestah, zvočno izolirane zaslone in ograje ter odkrivanje zastojev, ustavljenih vozil in drugih ovir. Droni se dvignejo na 120 metrov in pokrivajo obe smeri avtoceste A35. Posnetki se pošiljajo v nadzorni center, kar izboljša upravljanje intervencij in omogoča hiter odziv na morebitne težave na cesti.

Projekt spremljanja sredstev in prometa z droni je sestavljen iz treh operativnih faz:

  • Prva faza: V tej fazi, ki se je začela oktobra 2024, so bili izvedeni testi dronov, ki so jih nadzorovali strokovnjaki, in uvedena platforma za upravljanje video prenosa v realnem času v nadzornem centru Brebemi.

  • Druga faza: uvedba daljinskega upravljanja brezpilotnih letalnikov prek nadzornega centra, ki uporablja napredne senzorje za prenos podatkov in slik.

  • Tretja faza: V tej fazi bodo brezpilotna letala delovala popolnoma avtonomno.

Brezplačne avtoceste v Španiji od leta 2029

Ministrstvo za promet in trajnostno mobilnost je napovedalo, da bo analiziralo možnost prilagoditve treh ključnih avtocest - AP-6, AP-51 in AP-61 - za delovanje brez cestnin po izteku sporazuma novembra 2029. Po tem datumu bo s temi cestami upravljalo ministrstvo in jih bo mogoče uporabljati brez plačila.

Katera evropska država ima najboljšo cestno infrastrukturo?

Raziskava je pokazala, da ima zahodna Evropa boljšo cestno infrastrukturo v primerjavi z vzhodno Evropo, kjer je slika kakovosti cest v teh državah na splošno mračna.

Na prvem mestu po kakovosti cest v Evropi je Nizozemska, sledijo Švica, Avstrija, Portugalska, Španija in Hrvaška.

RAST VOZNIKOV PRED NAMI: VSE, KAR MORATE VEDETI O SPREMEMBAH VAJENIŠTVA

Susie Jones

Apprenticeships in the logistics sector have long provided a pathway for young people and career changers to gain experience in the industry while still earning a wage. However, for a long time, the industry has been calling for urgent reform after it had seen a decline in apprenticeships since the rollout of the Apprenticeship Levy and other challenging factors. A concerning trend is that, according to the RHA, the industry will require new truck drivers over the next five years to meet demand and support growth.In February 2025, the Government announced it would enforce changes to the apprenticeship scheme, allowing up to more apprentices to qualify yearly. We look at the key changes and what it means for the industry.• Businesses will be able to decide whether adult learners over 19 will need to complete level 2 English and maths qualification (equivalent to GCSE) to pass their apprenticeship (Effective immediately).• The duration of an apprenticeship has been reduced from 12 months to eight months (Effective from August 2025).• With a shorter apprenticeship duration, fleet companies can quickly train new drivers and logistics staff improving workforce availability. • Companies now have more say in determining whether English and Maths qualifications are necessary A change benefitting the haulage industry, where practical skills are more relevant. • By changing the educational requirements, a barrier has been removed for many potential apprentices looking to get into the industry. • Skills England, a new government body, will give businesses a stronger voice in shaping apprenticeship standards and funding. Fleet operators will benefit from more tailored training programs that meet industry needs. • A shorter apprenticeship duration combined with more employer flexibility will result in a more attractive process for everyone involved.There are several steps employers must take to employ an apprentice, and the steps vary depending on the country. This guidance is for employers in England guidance for other UK countries can be found • for your business.• for this apprenticeship.• Check to see what • to manage funding and recruit apprentices.• • Make an with your chosen apprentice.Employing apprentices provides fleet companies with a cost-effective way to train skilled workers. Government funding for apprenticeship schemes can reduce training costs, making it a viable long-term investment for fleet operators. Companies can benefit from new employees who bring fresh energy into the workplace and who are keen to learn. Apprenticeships in the haulage industry offer the opportunity to earn while gaining valuable skills in logistics, vehicle operations, and safety regulations. Currently, the industry is in demand for skilled drivers, and apprentices will benefit from good opportunities for career advancement.

POMANJKANJE VOZNIKOV V ZDRUŽENEM KRALJESTVU: ALI SE ŠTEVILO VOZNIKOV IZBOLJŠUJE?

Susie Jones

Anyone working in the haulage industry is no stranger to the term; 'Driver Shortage' a phrase all too common since COVID-19 and Brexit disrupted the sector. The UK was hit hard during this time, with many EU drivers leaving the country a big loss as European drivers made up a significant portion of its truck driving workforce.Six months after our on this topical issue, we examine where the sector is now. Figures published by showed an increase of almost 55,000 HGV Drivers employed over the last year a 21% rise. Several initiatives have come to fruition to try to ease the driver shortage in the UK. • The government has implemented 33 initiatives aimed at easing the shortage. These include but are not limited to, relaxing the rules for late-night supermarket deliveries, driver training boot camps, and increasing the number of available driving tests. • Truck drivers have been across the UK, with 55% wanting improved facilities. The has provided £16 million to truck stops to improve facilities. Influencers have played a significant role in changing public perceptions regarding the industry. Drivers like and use their platforms to highlight the highs and lows of working in the sector.Logistics UK also reported that the number of drivers under the age of 35 rose by 31,630 between Q3 2023 and Q3 2024. Despite this, the industry still relies on older drivers with more than 53% across the sector aged 50 and over. A report from the RHA, titled , suggests initiatives to attract younger people into the industry by:• Fully implementing the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks to provide an effective career guidance system to all school-age students to boost awareness. • Increasing collaboration with schools and colleges.• Developing a formal school or college-based qualification such as a T-Level.• Incorporating logistics modules in the current curriculum.• Leveraging government-supported initiatives incorporated within the Make Work Pay programme, showcasing logistics as an accessible and rewarding career path.Although work has already begun to tackle the driver shortage, more work needs to be done to avoid a repeat of 2021:• More government funding must become available for truck stops to improve facilities. • Providing ongoing support for aspiring drivers, including boot camps to reduce training costs.• Offering greater flexibility within the new Growth and Skills Levy.• Collaborating with schools and colleges at a local level to promote careers in the industry. HGV drivers are leaving the industry for a multitude of reasons:• Ageing workforce: With many truck drivers over 50, the industry has seen an influx of drivers retiring. • Working hours: Trucking is a lonely profession, with drivers working long, irregular, and antisocial hours behind the wheel. • Working conditions: There have been significant concerns regarding the state of facilities, long hours, and unpredictable schedules.

DAN VOZNIKOV HGV 2025: DATI GLAS VOZNIKOM TOVORNJAKOV

Miranda Blake

On 22nd January 2025, it’s HGV Drivers Day. Established by NN1 Personnel (recruiters and suppliers of truckers in the logistics industry), the day aims to celebrate drivers and all they do for the economy and society. Without truckers, who often experience various difficulties in the role (including being away from their families and home, long working hours, and travelling in extreme weathers), we would be without our necessary products and convenience. They truly have been heroes over the last few years as well as prior to that – the pandemic was only one example of this. How you mark the day is up to you. , for example by providing drivers with a hot drink or chatting with them. Here at SNAP, we’re always keen to give truckers a voice. And so, for this HGV Drivers Day, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Following a recent post on our asking about the and how to ensure young people have the enthusiasm to join the industry, we’re highlighting some of the commentary from truckers that show their real-life experiences – from the challenges they face to what they love about their job. A key talking point for drivers is how the role impacts their personal lives, such as not being there for important moments in life, having to sleep in their cab, and the money not being worth the sacrifices they make. Statistics back up the feedback. For example, it’s been found ) – compared to 37.5 hours for all employees, this is a substantial 28% higher. And so, it’s not surprising . Nor is it shocking that such a significant number have left the sector, including . For some who commented, they’ve moved on from the industry and into other roles that make them happier. But for others, they reflected on the good memories of riding in lorries with their dads as children, along with the value of it and how this experience led them to join the sector themselves after finishing their education. On a similar note, many disagreed with trucking not being the ideal job – whether it was for the money or just their love of driving a lorry. All these comments make it clear that while truckers certainly face challenges, there’s still a lot to love and for some it’s a career they’re happy to do for life – so it makes sense that around . We think it’s crucial everyone acknowledges all truckers do for us. Unfortunately, some drivers pointed out that they experience a significant lack of respect. This shouldn’t be the case – they should be recognised for what they do to give us all the bare necessities in life. As one trucker put it: So, this HGV Drivers Day – and every other day, in fact – we ask everyone to acknowledge those out on the road for us. Truckers deserve praise, respect, and so much more.
