“Access to safe, reliable parking shouldn't be an afterthought, it needs to be built right into the tools that fleets use to manage their operations,” said Chris Quin, VP, Europe sales at Trimble. “By bringing TRAVIS's parking network directly into CoPilot, we're helping carriers seamlessly build safer rest stops into the driving day, giving drivers greater confidence at the end of a shift.”
How it works
Through the integration, CoPilot users can search for TRAVIS parking locations along their planned route, near their current location or by searching for a specific site. Once a suitable location is identified, a direct link within CoPilot takes the driver to the TRAVIS platform to complete their booking. Drivers can also receive parking and entry instructions in more than 10 native languages via the TRAVIS Driver App, giving them greater certainty when planning mandatory rest periods.
Fleet managers operating across Europe receive a single periodic invoice from TRAVIS covering all parking costs, making VAT recovery simpler, improving cost visibility and eliminating the need to manage receipts from multiple countries and suppliers.
“Drivers shouldn't have to compromise on their personal safety or cargo security just to stay compliant with driving hours,” said Max Zillinger, sales and business development manager at TRAVIS Road Services. “By embedding our network of 750+ registered locations directly into Trimble CoPilot, we are taking the guesswork out of the driving day. It’s a win for driver well-being, peace of mind and fleet efficiency.”
Addressing a structural challenge for European logistics
The shortage of safe and secure truck parking remains a structural challenge in European road transport, as demand for dedicated spaces consistently exceeds supply.
While digital tools cannot solve the parking shortage on their own, they can help fleets make better use of available capacity and reduce time spent searching for suitable locations.
The Trimble-TRAVIS integration can support the goals of the EU's Fit for 55 programme and the Mobility Package by reducing unnecessary vehicle kilometres driven during parking searches and cutting associated fuel waste.
