Truckstop 26 Bis in Belgium addresses this head-on, by providing guaranteed, real-time information to fleet managers and drivers on the road in Belgium thanks to OTRA Solutions.

Cargo crime is broadly recognized to be the n° 1 problem in Europe’s transport sector, a problem that sucks €8.2 billion out of the economy. According to reports, 75% of all thefts or damage occur at unsecured parking zones, and 78% of drivers consider clear parking information vital for their job performance.
