Postscript
by DAVID MILLNER — Marketing Manager, Move & Park, and acting SETPOS Newsletter Editor
This newsletter is intended for all participants and interested parties of the SETPOS project. SETPOS stands for Secured European Truck Parking Operational Services and became possible thanks to a grant by the European Commission, Directorate General for Transport and Energy (DG TREN).
The SETPOS project involves a widespread alliance of partners across Europe who are already active in improving freight safety and security. SETPOS' objective is to set the standard, and to demonstrate this through 5 sites, hence facilitating the development of a reliable network of secure parking sites across the European Union. Through SETPOS, a Europe-wide truck parking information, guidance and reservation system is being developed.
