THE GROWING DEMAND IN EUROPE OF PARKING FOR TRUCKS

According to a recent report from the European Commission, parking areas for trucks are increasingly needed in Europe. In particular, the study speaks of a deficit of 400,000 parking spaces for trucks and heavy vehicles.

Unfortunately the collective is suffering more and more robberies, 75% of which in the parking areas themselves, so the European Union wants to promote parking areas for safe and protected trucks.

The current situation is not comfortable for the transport sector, the drivers do not feel safe when they rest and the owners of the cargo are exposed to continuous theft and economic losses. According to the transport organization IRU, the theft losses represented 6,000 to 7,000 million euros last year.

THE PROBLEMS OF THE CURRENT TRUCK PARKING ZONESPARKING WITHOUT HOMOLOGAR.

Currently truck parking areas are different everywhere, without following a pattern, which causes uncertainty among truck drivers about the level of security they have or the services they can enjoy.

LACK OF INFORMATION.

In most cases it is not possible to reserve a place in advance to park the truck and rest, which forces the truck driver to carry out more kilometers until finding a safe area in breach of the rules of driving time and rest.

SECONDARY ROUTES.

Many of these facilities are on secondary roads outside the large transport corridors, assuming that the truck must deviate from its path

TOWARDS A NEW NETWORK OF TRUCK REST AREAS

European experts propose to create a European network in the most important European transport corridors.

For this, they are committed to standardizing the parking areas for trucks so that they can be audited and classified according to their level of security and the services they offer: restoration, wifi, personal hygiene, etc.

And develop parking infrastructure for trucks throughout the European Union

This means a large outlay. On the part of the owners of the parking and by the European Union that will endow the project with 45 MM euros.

THE TRUCK PARKING AS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

The fact that the demand is higher than the supply in areas with high traffic volume and stops - for example on the French border by La Jonquiere (Gerona) - is an important market niche since it is a highly demanded service.

The world needs an efficient model of transport by road and for this it is essential parking for safe trucks
