Internalising the External Costs of Light Goods Vehicle Transport in Britain
J. Allen, M. Piecyk and A. McKinnon (2008)
To what
extent do the taxes paid by the
light goods vehicles (LGVs) users
in Britain cover their allocated
infrastructural, environmental and congestion costs?
This report is a continuation of a study on the internalisation of the external costs of heavy goods vehicle activity. Research
undertaken jointly by the Transport Studies Group at University of Westminster and Logistics Research Centre at
Heriot-Watt
University
has attempted to answer this question using official government transport
statistics and monetary valuations for the external costs.
