Mapping road transport security Incidents: the Main hotspots for luxury & high value goods transportation in Europe

TAPA EMEA's intelligence reports spotlight alarming trends for luxury goods carriers in Europe. In the last year alone, trucks carrying luxury retail goods were hit by 220 incidents, with losses amounting to a significant 20.2 million euros. More concerning? Nearly a quarter of these – 42 incidents – occurred in unsanctioned parking or third-party spaces. It's a glaring reminder: Europe urgently needs more secure truck parking spots.

Top Incident Areas:

  • Birmingham in the UK
  • Eindhoven in the Netherlands
  • Paris in France
  • Milan, Venice, and Naples in Italy
  • Leipzig-Hanover region in Germany
  • Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragosa and Valencia in Spain
