Grand Reopening of the Bosch Karlsruhe Truck Parking Lot After Extensive Modernization in Early 2027
The Bosch Karlsruhe site was the very first parking location in the Bosch Secure Truck Parking network when it opened in 2016. The site is currently closed until the end of 2026 while it is being completely rebuilt into a premier secure truck stop. During the construction period, we recommend using the Messe Karlsruhe site as an alternative.
Highlights of the site
42 Secure Pitches
Experience maximum peace of mind. The entire premises are fully fenced, equipped with video surveillance (CCTV), and connected directly to the 24/7 Bosch Monitoring Center for proactive security tracking.
12 High-Power EV Charging Points
Future-proof your fleet. Dynamic mid-lane charging infrastructure (FlexMPS) supports fast-charging and overnight charging windows tailored to your truck's battery.
Optimized Site Access
Zero delays, zero damage. The redesigned site features completely separate truck lanes and simplified entry/exit gates engineered for effortless, hazard-free access—restricted exclusively to authorized users.
Prime Transit Proximity
Keep your transit times tight. Karlsruhe Truck Stop #1 is located less than 3 km from the main highway, eliminating stressful detours and routing delays.
Seamless Digital Reservation

What does the SteP funding mean in connection with the Karlsruhe site?
The expansion of the Karlsruhe location is supported under the SteP funding program. SteP stands for the funding of secure and modern truck parking spaces in Germany. The goal of the program is to improve road freight transport infrastructure and provide drivers with more secure parking options. We would like to thank the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) for supporting this project.
What is Megawatt Charging?
Megawatt Charging (MCS, Megawatt Charging System) is the next generation of fast charging for commercial electric vehicles. This technology enables significantly higher charging capacities than current standards, substantially reducing charging times for electric trucks. The future deployment of Megawatt Charging is planned for the Karlsruhe site to meet the growing demands of electric mobility in freight transport.
