Review of 120-plus UK transport plans finds big gaps in climate resilience rules

Review of 120-plus UK transport plans finds big gaps in climate resilience rules

A review of more than 120 UK transport plans finds they focus heavily on zero-emission vehicles and digital technology. The authors report significant gaps in resilience standards, metrics and statutory targets for the existing network. They say these gaps undermine effective asset management.

  • 01Across more than 120 UK transport plans, carbon gets the targets, while the existing network that carries most journeys gets a much thinner scorecard for climate risk.
  • 02Watch for the DARe hub's open-source modelling framework. Whether partner regions use it to stress-test investments will show if resilience gets a working metric.

Exotec survey finds 94% of warehouse robot buyers say switching costs too much

Exotec survey finds 94% of warehouse robot buyers say switching costs too much

Exotec's survey of 250 North American automation decision-makers found one in four regret their warehouse automation choice. With 94% calling a switch prohibitively expensive, the contract stage shapes the next 10 to 15 years. The report ties disappointment to lifetime-cost estimates, repair accountability and readiness.

  • 01With 94% calling a switch prohibitively expensive, an automation choice can lock buyers in for 10 to 15 years, making the contract stage the last practical point to fix cost, accountability or readiness gaps.
  • 02Buyers of low-cost systems were nearly five times as likely to say they picked the wrong vendor (24% vs. 5%), and far fewer rated root-cause identification as fast (52% vs. 74%).
  • 03Internal readiness tracks with outcomes: early adopters with dedicated automation teams and leadership oversight reported a 1% wrong-vendor rate, against 11% for fast followers.

Port of Corpus Christi weighs a DP World container terminal and 2,000-acre hub

The Port of Corpus Christi outlined a 2,000-acre Robstown logistics hub and a potential DP World container terminal. Leaders tied the $625 million ship channel expansion—11.9 miles widened and deepened—to evaluating container ships for the first time. No terminal deal is signed yet.

  • 01The Port of Corpus Christi’s $625 million ship channel project expanded 11.9 miles of channel, putting container ships on the table.
  • 02The signal to watch is a signed DP World agreement and visible work at the 2,000-acre Robstown site. Those steps could turn the pitch into an option for routing plans.
