Among the certified locations are four facilities in France (Delta Park Dourges, Le Shuttle Freight Village, Truck Arena 31, and Truck Etape Béziers), two in Spain (mowiz Truck Astigarraga and OnTurtle La Jonquera), as well as one location each in Romania (Smart Autohof Pecica) and Denmark (Recharge City).
The new voluntary Green Standard from Esporg was developed in collaboration with Dekra and member companies. It builds on the existing EU standard for safe truck parking and adds sustainability criteria. The goal, according to Esporg, is to provide operators with tools to demonstrate and further develop their contributions to more environmentally friendly road freight transport.
“We want to promote greener parking management and accelerate the transformation of the sector,” said Esporg Managing Director Drik Penasse.
The organization expects that the number of certified facilities in Europe could at least double within the next two years.
The assessment is based on a points system with four levels – from “Green Parking” to “Excellent Master Green Parking.” Esporg calls on operators, authorities, and industry partners to participate in the voluntary certification to support a more sustainable supply chain in European road freight transport.
Some of the awarded facilities are already implementing extensive sustainability measures. The Secure Truck Park Delta Park Dourges in France, operated by TIP, is considered one of the most advanced examples of sustainable parking management. It utilizes a heat pump instead of a gas heater and electricity from renewable energies for water heating. An electric vehicle is used for maintenance work, and gasoline-powered equipment has been replaced by battery-operated ones. Additionally, organic waste is composted on-site, waste is sorted, and batteries are collected separately. There are also green spaces and garden areas for drivers.
The also award-winning Recharge City in Denmark is one of the larger projects in the industry. The area offers around 450 truck parking spaces and combines parking areas with charging and refueling infrastructure for alternative drives. In addition, extensive service offerings for drivers are available, including hotel, gastronomy, and sanitary facilities. The concept is positioned as an integrated Parking and Recharging Center for drivers and vehicles and is framed as a large-scale infrastructure project for sustainable truck mobility.
Mowiz Truck Astigarraga in Spain is also regarded as a best practice example for sustainable parking management. The site was awarded the Esporg Green Truck Parking Management Award in 2025 and, according to the organization, particularly focuses on environmental management and sustainable operation of the facility.
