Companion to British Road Haulage History
Author: John Aldridge
Publisher: National Museum of Science and Industry
ISBN: 9781900747462
Category : Transportation, Automotive
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This encyclopaedic reference work is the first to address in depth the subject of road haulage in Britain. Whereas there is extensive literature on the development of passenger road transport during the twentieth century, little of substance has been published about the contribution of road haulage to Britain's economic progress. The book presents some 600 cross-referenced articles on the history of road freight transport in Britain in the twentieth century. The book covers business, economic, legal, administrative, technical and social aspects, from the very beginning of the motor vehicle era, through the slow transition from horse-drawn transport, to modern heavy lorries.

The Decline of the British Motor Industry (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Peter Dunnett
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136643338
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
First published in 1980, this book considers the British motor industry over the period between 1945 and 1979, analysing the ways in which the industry suffered a considerable decline in the post-war era, when compared to motor industries of other countries or to most other British industries. Rather than blaming labour and management, as has frequently been the case, the author argues that the decline can be traced back to poor government policy. Tracing how, when and where government policies affected the industry, the book examines policies clearly directed at the motor industry, such as transport legislation and motor taxation. In addition the work considers the consequences of many policies which were targeted only indirectly at the motor industry as the author argues that whilst government policy may have succeeded in its aim, e.g. improving employment for the balance of payments, the motor industry may have suffered as a consequence. Written in non-technical language, the reissue will be of interest to those concerned with post-war UK economic development, the UK motor industry in particular and the history of government policy in general.
