e-Transport - Specialised forms of road transport

The Specialised Forms of Road Transport module provides a thorough, practical overview of the main specialised transport areas within logistics. Participants explore the essential legislation, operating requirements and specific equipment involved in transporting dangerous goods (ADR), temperature-controlled goods (ATP), abnormal loads, waste and live animals. The module also addresses current challenges in urban distribution, last-mile logistics and e-commerce deliveries. It provides an ideal foundation for current and future transport planners and logistics staff to recognise and efficiently plan for the risks, required documentation and special requirements associated with these forms of transport.
