Platinum truck parking in Romania made possible by dedicated EU funding

IRU calls for EU funding of safe and secure truck parking areas is paying off: Europe's first Dekra Platinum certified truck parking has opened in Romania.

Travel Centers of Europe is the first secure truck parking area in Europe to be awarded the prestigious Dekra Platinum certification.

The parking is strategically located near Romania’s border with Hungary along a key corridor at the Orțișoara/Seceani exit on the A1 highway in Timiș County, Romania.

The facility was inaugurated by IRU member the National Union of Road Hauliers from Romania (UNTRR), exemplifying the innovative spirit and commitment to excellence within the IRU community.

IRU advocacy has secured EUR 750 million in dedicated EU budget for the development and upgrading of safe and secure parking areas. This funding made possible the investment in Europe's first Dekra Platinum certified truck parking.

Building a robust network of safe and secure truck parking areas across Europe will contribute to a thriving European transport sector while improving drivers’ working conditions and enhancing road safety. Read more
