UK to modernise 38 truck stops


In the UK, the government and industry are investing GBP 16 million (EUR 18.7 million) in more parking spaces, better welfare facilities and safer rest areas for truck drivers in England.

 

The upgrades will include new showers and restaurants, better lighting, and secure fencing around rest areas so drivers can feel safer and sleep with greater peace of mind. The measures will create around 430 new parking spaces for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) to free up local roads, the UK government said.

 

The improvements will also help decarbonise the haulage sector with the installation of new charge points to power electric HGVs and solar panels on truck driver facilities. (ben)
