Happy Trucker partners with the LKW.APP from Aparkado to find and book truck parking across Europe
Europe’s largest truck parking app meets the marketplace for bookable truck parking
Truck parking in Europe remains a major challenge
Finding a truck parking space nearby is one of the biggest daily challenges for truck drivers across Europe. The shortage of safe and available truck parking leads to unnecessary detours, time loss, stress and increased security risks. Drivers often waste driving time searching for a suitable truck parking location along their route, sometimes ending up in unsafe or improvised parking situations.
To actively address this issue, Aparkado, developer of the popular LKW.APP, and Happy Trucker, Europe’s marketplace for bookable truck parking, have entered a strategic partnership
The shared objective is clear:
help drivers find truck parking faster, use real-time availability data and book secure parking spaces in advance – all within one seamless app experience.
Aparkado LKW.APP – Find truck parking across Europe in real time
The LKW.APP by Aparkado is one of Europe’s most widely used truck parking apps, available in both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. With more than 300,000 downloads, the app has become an essential tool for truck drivers searching for truck parking in Europe.
Key features for efficient truck parking search:
- Real-time truck parking search along the route:
Drivers can find parking spaces along their planned route, supported by a clear traffic-light system indicating current occupancy levels. In addition, the app provides an occupancy forecast for the next 15 hours, calculated and continuously updated using algorithms and driver input. - Europe’s largest truck parking database:

Based on the truck profile, users receive safe and efficient routes – powered by HERE Maps. - 17 languages for all of Europe:
Whether domestic or international drivers, the app can be used seamlessly across Europe thanks to its availability in 17 languages.
