SNAP and Elvis Team Up to Boost Truck Parking Safety

As a provider of smart payment and parking solutions for the European haulage industry, SNAP is delighted to announce a partnership with the European Cargo Federation of International Freight Forwarders (Elvis) to increase the number of reliable Truck Parking options available in Germany.

By partnering with Elvis, SNAP Account services, including cashless payments, will be available to 250-Elvis partnered companies across 500 locations in Germany, with the potential, it says, to help some 17,000 additional drivers.

A 2019 report by TAPA revealed that Germany had the third highest levels of cargo crime in Europe. Seeking to identify the causes of this rise and the impact it had on the industry, SNAP’s Cost of Cargo Crime survey found that 61.7% believed that lack of secure parking was a major factor in the rise in cargo crime in Germany.

Estimates claim that Germany is short of 11,000 truck parking spaces. As a result of the new partnership, Elvis drivers will now have access to SNAP parking locations. Often in fleet operators’ yards, these spaces are pre-bookable and predominantly exclusive to SNAP Account holders, meaning drivers know a space is waiting for them and have the reassurance of increased safety for their trucks and cargo overnight.

Fleet operators will also be able to benefit by hiring out their own parking spaces, creating a boost in revenue while increasing the availability of safe parking for others in the industry – all through SNAP’s services.
