Let Freight Trucks Overtake Cheetahs

 

Dear Narendrabhai,

 

 

Your release of 8 Cheetahs in Kuno National Park coincided with your release yesterday afternoon, of the  National Logistics Policy

 

 

In nature, Cheetahs are the ultimate symbol of speed

 

 

Hence your suggestion that the “ Freight Movement “ on our highways match that speed, was very apt

 

 

But a Cheetah pursuing its prey, can keep up that speed for only a few minutes !

 

 

Whereas freight trucks must keep running on our highways, NON-STOP , for days on end, at a HIGH SPEED of 120 KM / Hour

 

Not only it is possible, it is a MUST

 

 

Like CONVEYOR BELTS , criss-crossing the factory floor space or the vertical “ Air Space “ of an AUTOMATED WAREHOUSE ( eg : Amazon ), and carrying components / assemblies / packages , Freight Trucks must GLIDE along the highways non-stop

 

 

Some 7 YEARS ago, I sent following suggestion :

 My request / suggestion to GST Council :

 

 

· Aim to turn India’s highways into friction-less “ Conveyor Belts of Commerce “

 

 

And that “ technology “ of how to do this was also “ detailed “ in the above-mentioned e-mail

 

With regards,
