About Recharge City:
ESPORG member Recharge City is Denmark’s largest safe and secure truck parking area, providing 450 parking spaces for Heavy Goods Vehicles. It is located west of the Danish motorway E45 at the exit 57 Horsens South on the Scandinavian–Mediterranean Corridor. Recharge City is Europe’s first and largest parking and recharging center with a platinum certification according to the EU-Parking Standard. The area covers 270.000 square meters and the center includes a hotel, three restaurants, gas and charging stations, bathing- and toilet facilities as well as outdoor areas – for truck drivers, motorists and families from the local areas. The idea behind Recharge City came from a local project developer who wanted to create more, better parking facilities and improve working conditions for drivers.
