The LCC has put forward a good few:

There's also freight consolidation, i.e. taking more freight into one lorry and cutting out much of the multi-drop driving in London, i.e. one lorry to go to one cluster of businesses (of many different kinds) in one area instead of x lorries each going to fifteen branches of one kind of business all over London throughout a day.
Drivers should not be sole operators but have a driver's mate with them. This would be especially important for major construction-related traffic.
Drivers should not be placed under ridiculous deadline pressure.
I could go on. Most of these things would cost money (although freight consolidation can produce big savings), so that they are being resisted. Obvious to whom? To everybody who doesn't want to save money in conducting freight operations.
