	SCADPlus: Taxation of heavy goods vehicles: "Eurovignette" Directive
		Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 1999 on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures.
		This Directive replaces Directive 93/89/EEC on the application by Member States of taxes on certain vehicles used for the carriage of goods by road and tolls and charges for the use of certain infrastructures.
		The Directive covers vehicle taxes, tolls and user charges imposed on vehicles intended for the carriage of goods by road and having a maximum permissible gross laden weight of not less than 12 tonnes.

	Heavy Goods Vehicles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As for getting in peoples’ way and slowing progress, if a HGV is driving at their speed limit on single carriageway roads, that is 40 mph, they’re reasonably easy to overtake, even in a Cinquecento 900.
		Because their vehicles lack the performance of cars, they must use a different technique: it’s all about conversation of energy.
		I’ve never driven a HGV (but I would like to, so I’m open to offers) but I would imagine that having to change gear seven times between rest and 45 mph would become rather tiresome.

		Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) is the new formal term in the United Kingdom for goods vehicles (i.e.
		The term was changed from HGV to LGV as not all countries in Europe had a word for heavy.
		All LGV's are required by law to be fitted with Tachograph equipment which records the driver's activity during driving.

	Heavy goods vehicles: exemption
		No tax charge arises where a heavy goods vehicle (see EIM22991) is made available for private use by a director or employee (except those in lower paid employment, see EIM20007) or a member of his family or household (see EIM20504) if conditions A and B are met.
		Condition B is that the employee’s use of the vehicle in the tax year is not wholly or mainly private use.
		EIM22993 for the treatment of vehicles that are not exempt because the vehicle is used wholly or mainly for private use.

	Austria v Commission (New accessions) [2003] EUECJ C-356/01 (20 November 2003)
		(a) The total of NOx emissions from heavy goods vehicles crossing Austria in transit shall be reduced by 60% in the period between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2003, according to the table in Annex 4.
		If the vehicle fitted with an ecotag, upon confirmation of it undertaking a transit journey requiring ecopoints, a number of ecopoints, equivalent to the NOx emission information stored in the ecotag of the vehicle, shall be deducted from the total of ecopoints allocated to the Member State in which the vehicle is registered.
		The wording means that the driver of a heavy goods vehicle is required, prior to entering Austrian territory, to declare, by clicking on the ecotag, whether he is making a journey which is ecopoint-exempt or a transit journey which is subject to the ecopoints system.

	DfT Research: Potential Casualty Savings from Fitting Blind Spot Mirrors to Heavy Goods Vehicles
		In mixed traffic conditions, where Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV's) share the same road space as vulnerable road users such as cyclists or motorcyclists, it is important that the HGV driver has a clear view of all adjacent traffic, even when conducting slow speed manoeuvres.
		Many of these accidents may be due to the inability of the HGV driver to be aware of traffic close to the side of the vehicle, particularly in the 'blind spot' caused by the passenger door on high vehicles.
		Since 1988, new goods vehicles above 12 tonnes and registered in the UK have been required to be fitted with an additional 'close proximity' mirror on the passenger side to address this problem.

	Battery-electric heavy goods vehicles: Performance
		Thus, the limiting factor on the power output of the HGV is the power output of the battery, and this is itself governed by two factors - this size of the battery and the specific power of the individual cells.
		By contrast, the large battery of an HGV will be able to absorb all braking power under almost all circumstances and recover a much higher proportion of otherwise lost kinetic energy.
		This is because the battery (although heavy) will be small enough, (as discussed later), to fit in the currently unused underspace beneath the trailer unit.

	Battery-electric heavy goods vehicles: Feasibility analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		he idea that battery electric heavy goods vehicles might be a viable alternative to todays diesel powered HGVs may sound at first an unlikely proposition.
		This is perhaps to be expected, given how obviously the car industry has failed to create electric vehicles capable of competing on range, practicality and cost of ownership with the existing internal combustion options.
		1) It is possible to build a battery electric 40 tonne heavy goods vehicle with a range of 700 miles using technology available today and off-the-shelf that will be able to outperform diesel powered counterparts in almost all areas of operation.

		Among those opposed were major trade bodies, who represent the views of members operating over 200,000 goods vehicles and so represent a significant level of opposition to mandatory conspicuity marking.
		The research into the use of these vehicles has been completed and we are considering the recommendations made in the final report and we hope to publish it before the end of this year.
