Brussels, 21 April 2026 – The European Secure Parking Organisation (ESPORG) today announces the launch of its new training programme “Creating a Home Away from Home Experience for Truck Drivers”, now available on the members-only EU Parking Academy online platform.
High-quality truck parking is far more than a stopping place — it is a vital link in the European transport and logistics chain. Well-designed and professionally managed parking facilities directly support driver wellbeing, improve working conditions, enhance job satisfaction and contribute to better talent retention. By elevating standards in parking services, the sector strengthens its overall image, promotes road safety and helps build a more resilient and attractive profession for the drivers who keep Europe’s supply chains moving.
The new programme introduces parking operators’ staff to the “home away from home” concept and provides practical tools to create welcoming, safe and comfortable environments that offer drivers the dignity, rest and support they deserve during long journeys. The courses are available in English, Italian and French.
This training is a key outcome of the second year of ESPORG’s Wellbeing Campaign “Drive safe, park safe, work safe, live well”, which focuses this year on the “Park safe” element. It forms a central pillar of the European Wellbeing Initiative, powered by ESPORG, whose main objective is to foster a genuine culture of wellbeing across the entire supply chain — ensuring that every stakeholder, from parking operators to transport companies and drivers, benefits from safer, more satisfying and more sustainable working conditions.
