The European Commission has allocated EUR 320 million to develop secure lorry parking areas across the EU to improve driver safety and working conditions.
Currently, drivers in the EU face a marked shortage of secure parking options, often relying on poorly equipped or unsafe areas to rest. This gap in infrastructure has affected driver safety and cargo security.
As a reminder, in July 2024, TAPA recorded the highest level of reported supply chain thefts in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) this year. Nearly 90% of all incidents occurred in the following countries: the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. Despite falling fuel prices in many countries, diesel fuel remains a target for thieves in the EMEA region – in July, the number of fuel thefts grew 42.6%. Of 97 thefts, 60 occurred in Germany.
