UTRECHT, The Netherlands, September 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- Truck Villages Along European Road Network in Response to Increasing
Crime

With TruckCity, TCN Property Projects has created a concept that takes
advantage of the important developments in the growing European transport
sector. In the near future, truck villages will spring up along vital
international transport routes and near logistics junctions such as airports
and seaports. Comprising at least six hectares in area, these villages will
offer drivers and transporters everything their hearts desire - all under one
roof, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The drivers will find comfort and
an at-home feeling here thanks to facilities such as hotel and catering
services, and fitness and relaxation areas. Thanks to continuously guarded
car parks, the safety for the driver as well as the cargo he carries will be
guaranteed at TruckCity. For transport companies, apart from safety TruckCity
also offers efficiency: the driver's rest period creates the opportunity for
all sorts of maintenance and repairs to be performed on the trucks, and
required inspections may be conducted as well.

Bert-Jan Hemmen, Director of TCN Logistics: "Safety is becoming an
increasingly more important theme in the transport sector. Research has shown
that in Europe companies suffer nearly EUR 8.2 billion in losses due to
thefts committed along the roads, particularly at car parks without security.
As a result, drivers frequently feel unsafe, and consequently, sleep poorly.
TruckCity offers companies and drivers safety and security through the
presence of a proper and permanent security service on the property." In
fact, TruckCity even contributes to road safety. Arnold Doornekamp, Director
of TruckCity: "In the logistics industry, companies are becoming increasingly
demanding when it comes to delivery. With the stricter driving time
legislation and increased traffic on the roads, it is becoming more and more
difficult for transport companies to satisfy these demands. The pressure on
truckers increases as a result, and this can prove rather dangerous since
rest and maintenance are the two aspects that end up falling by the wayside.
In other words, efficiency between resting and driving times is crucial.
TruckCity offers a solution to this problem: maintenance may be performed on
the complete truck combination during the driver's rest period, from tyres to
cleaning to the periodic motor vehicle test. The transport company therefore
does not lose any additional time for service and maintenance, and the driver
can truly relax, which means he can continue on his way again, well-rested
and able to drive safely."

TruckCity will be launched on 25 October 2007 at the opening of the
BedrijfsautoRAI (European Road Transport Show). The concept will be rolled
out along the most important European motorways in 2008.
