Expressways master plan for 2047 in the works
The government is working on National Master Plan for development of highways and expressways for 2047, that will enable trucks to more than double the distance they cover in a day to 800 km, a senior official said Thursday.
At present, trucks in India cover 300-350 km in a day which is much less than figures in the US and Europe. In Europe the limit is 750 km a day while in the US the drivers can legally drive up to 1100-1200 km a day driving at the speed 100 km an hour.
