Aparkado integrates Happy Trucker into the LKW.APP and thus combines the digital search for a parking space with direct booking options. This is Aparkado’s response to the persistently difficult to plan legally required breaks, as well as the associated unnecessary fuel consumption and lost working time in everyday transport.  

Via the Happy Trucker integration, drivers and companies can reliably book available truck parking spaces along the route and thus plan breaks. 

Digital parking search meets direct booking 

With over 50,000 truck parking areas recorded and more than 300,000 downloads, LKW.APP has built one of the largest parking databases in Europe. A specially developed real-time traffic light system shows the current occupancy rate and provides a forecast for the next 15 hours. With the help of over 30 filters, drivers can select parking spaces specifically and store individual truck profiles with information on dimensions and weight. On this basis, the app enables route-based planning tailored to the respective vehicle that reliably takes restrictions into account. 

Through the partnership with Happy Trucker, this offer is now being expanded to include immediately bookable, secure parking spaces in Europe and the UK. Happy Trucker enables the central and binding booking of these locations, bundled via a single company account for the entire fleet. Instead of many individual accesses and billing, administration is carried out via a central monthly billing, which creates transparency and significantly reduces the administrative effort. Processing is completely digital, without the need for telephone coordination or an on-site search. 

Benefits of LKW.APP for drivers: 

  • Less search traffic and loss of time 
  • No exceeding of driving times 
  • Scheduled rest stops 
  • More security through reserved parking spaces 

 

Advantages of LKW.APP for companies: 

  • 12 hours saved per truck per month  
  • Savings of up to €71 per vehicle per month 
  • 256kg of CO2 saved per truck per month 
  • Less organizational effort 
  • Better route planning 
  • Greater reliability towards customers 


Two solutions, one common approach
 

By LKW.APP, Aparkado provides digital parking information for European freight transport. Happy Trucker complements this offer with the possibility of booking truck parking spaces in advance. This creates consistent processes that make breaks easier to plan and reduce the effort for drivers and haulage companies. 

Andreas Angermayr, founder and CEO of Happy Trucker, sees the cooperation as a milestone: “Aparkado and Happy Trucker share the same vision: a better, safer and more efficient professional life for truck drivers. Through our cooperation, we combine modern parking data with real booking options – a win for all drivers and transport companies in Europe.” 

With this partnership, Happy Trucker and Aparkado are setting a new standard for digital parking solutions in European freight transport. The result is more efficiency, more safety and less stress on Europe’s roads.
