Park Your Truck and Entent: Driving the Electrification of Road Freight Transport in Europe

The electrification of heavy-duty road transport is gathering momentum, and Park Your Truck is actively shaping this transition. Under the brand Charge Your Truck, Park Your Truck has entered into a strategic partnership with Entent.eu, one of Europe’s leading providers of charging infrastructure for commercial vehicles. Together, the two companies are accelerating the roll-out of charging and parking solutions for electric HDVs across Europe.

The principle is as straightforward as it is effective: Entent invests in charging infrastructure, providing medium-voltage connections and high-performance fast-charging stations. Park Your Truck contributes strategically located sites, positioned at key traffic hubs. The result: state-of-the-art charging hubs for electric trucks that simultaneously serve as secure, bookable parking facilities.

Through Park Your Truck’s dedicated booking system, drivers, hauliers and fleet operators can not only reserve parking bays but also schedule charging slots in advance. This ensures reliable vehicle charging as part of day-to-day operations – without detours or unforeseen waiting times.
Whether along major freight corridors, on depot premises or close to large logistics centres, Park Your Truck and Entent develop charging and parking solutions exactly where they are needed. Have a specific route where your fleet requires charging access? Park Your Truck identifies suitable sites and, together with Entent, transforms them into charging and parking hubs – tailored precisely to your company’s operational requirements.

The partnership between Park Your Truck and Entent marks an important step towards advancing decarbonisation in the European transport sector. Entent brings the technology and a network of high-capacity charging hubs, while Park Your Truck contributes prime locations and expertise in parking solutions. Together, they are building a professional, Europe-wide charging network designed specifically to meet the needs of hauliers, fleet operators and logistics providers.

About Park Your Truck 

Park Your Truck GmbH (formerly known as UnserParkplatz GmbH) was founded in August 2013. Initially, it started as an online platform for sharing car parking spaces. After one year, they left this market and turned their attention to solving the truck parking problem.

Initially, they pragmatically acquired 1,000 truck parking spaces at gas stations and rest areas for reservation through our portal and simply tried to offer them to truck drivers. In 2015, with the technical implementation of the platform, they won Phase 1 of the Horizon 2020 EU competition, which had 8,400 participants from all over Europe. They utilized the EU-funded feasibility study as the largest primary market research in the field of truck parking, and the insights from it laid the foundation for their current new reservation platform, www.park-your-truck.com.
