On 28 October, mowiz TRUCK and REPSOL inaugurated the new mowiz TRUCK – Repsol Zaragoza Plaza secure parking area in Spain.

The inauguration highlighted the importance of secure parking in addressing key challenges facing the road transport sector, from driver safety and cargo theft to recruitment and retention. Luis Manuel Calvo of Mowiz TRUCK emphasised the importance of creating safe, welcoming
environments for professional drivers, while Carlos Suárez of Repsol highlighted the challenge of attracting new talent to the industry.

Their messages reflect a shared priority: secure parking must put drivers at the centre. Providing safe places to rest is essential to improving working conditions, reducing fatigue-related risks and making the profession more attractive to future generations.

This vision also aligns with ESPORG’s commitment to promoting high-quality parking facilities across Europe and its Ewellin - European Wellbeing Initiative, “Drive Safe, Park Safe, Work Safe, Live Well”, built around the concept of Home Away from Home.

The inauguration in Zaragoza is a reminder that collaboration between parking operators and energy companies can contribute to a safer and more sustainable future for European road transport.

🤝 One table. One common point: the driver.

On 28 October, the Wellbeing Days of Ewellin - European Wellbeing Initiative, powered by ESPORG, took place at Securit Park in La Crèche, France, as part of Year 2 of the Wellbeing Campaign, “Park Safe”.

Hauliers, parking operators, the European Labour Authority, security analysts and road and digital services came together to listen to each other, and to the drivers themselves.

✅ Roundtable “Safe Roads, Safe Stops, Well Drivers”
✅ Confidential Wellbeing Check-Ups, surveys and gentle sports sessions at the Drivers’ Wellbeing Corner
✅ Securit Park certified as a Wellbeing Ambassador
✅ New signatures on the Wellbeing Pledge

📊 According to the ESPORG Study 2025, 78% of drivers have faced safety concerns while parked, and 90% suffer from stress. That’s why we keep listening.

Thank you to Trucks'nB, the speakers, the partners and our Wellbeing Volunteers!

SecuriT Park is officially open in La Crèche, France!

A secure truck parking designed around drivers’ wellbeing was inaugurated on 28 October at the A10 / A83 junction, during the Wellbeing Days organised by Ewellin - European Wellbeing Initiative, powered by ESPORG, together with Trucks'nB.

What drivers get:
🔒 On-site guard and video surveillance, 24/7
📷 Freeflow access by number-plate recognition: no ticket, no waiting at the gate
📱 Online booking and payment
🚿 Showers and a rest room
☕ Free hot drinks and soup all year, plus free coffee, bikes and laundry after a long stop

Why it matters: Europe is still short of roughly 390,000 safe and secure parking spaces, and only 9% of drivers feel safe or very safe at European parking areas (ESPORG Study 2025). Places like Securit Park show that a break can become real time to recharge.

Securit Park also received the Wellbeing Ambassador certificate, and Trucks’nB was among the first signatories of the Wellbeing Pledge.

The new Alpega report, Trust, Resilience, and Collaboration in Freight Networks, highlights the essential role of safe and secure truck parking in building a stronger, more connected Europe.

The report recognizes the importance of the EU Parking Standard, established by the European Commission, in providing a common European benchmark for cargo security and driver wellbeing, while supporting informed routing decisions and cargo protection.

As Dirk Penasse, General Manager of ESPORG, states in the report:

“When carriers and shippers can rely on certified secure parking, cargo is protected and drivers can rest safely and with dignity.”

The report also features insights from Uniunea Societăților de Expediții din România - USER – Freight Forwarders Association of Romania, the Ewellin - European Wellbeing Initiative Ambassador in Romania, highlighting the importance of trust and cooperation across the transport chain.

👏 Thank you to Alpega, 123cargo BursaTransport and Diana Cristescu for advancing the dialogue on safer, more resilient European road transport networks!

Last week, ESPORG participated in the Green Logistics Expo 2026 in Padova on 14 and 15 October, contributing to discussions on the future of European logistics and the role of secure truck parking in building a safer, more efficient and sustainable transport network.

During the two-day event, ESPORG presented its work and took part in a dedicated discussion with parking operators, highlighting the EU Parking Standard. The exchanges underlined the importance of certified parking areas in strengthening security, improving service quality and supporting the development of the infrastructure needed across Europe’s transport corridors.

Discussions also addressed the wider role of secure parking areas in the European logistics ecosystem, including the energy transition, digitalisation and driver wellbeing, priorities reflected in ESPORG’s ongoing initiatives.

A special thank you to Studio Ballarin for hosting ESPORG at its Expert Corner stand and providing the opportunity to present our work and exchange views with fellow professionals in the sector.

We would also like to thank the participants who contributed to the discussion on truck parking, sharing their perspectives and experience:
