| Truck Etape opens HGV parking facility near Valenciennes Truck Etape, a Vinci Concessions subsidiary specialising in the construction and operation of secure parking facilities for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), is opening its La Sentinelle site on the A2 motorway (exit 20) near Valenciennes. The 300-space site augments Vinci Concessions service offering in terms of secure HGV parking facilities following the opening of the Béziers Truck Etape in 2006 (350 parking spaces on the A9 motorway at exit 36 for Béziers Ouest) and the secure parking facility at Communay in 2004 (125 spaces on the A46, eastern bypass around Lyons). The new secure HGV parking facility at La Sentinelle has been selected by the European Commission as a pilot site for the SETPOS (Secure European Truck Parking Operational Services) project and for the purposes of setting a European standard for such facilities. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
