For those who are on the road every day, finding quick and uncomplicated help for acute health problems is often difficult. DocStop is committed to making it easier for professional drivers to receive medical care while on the road.

Professional drivers can park their HGVs in designated areas at 137 of MAN’s own service centres throughout Germany, free of charge and irrespective of brand, announced the company on Thursday.

From the service outlets, drivers can then go to the appropriate doctor, who will treat them immediately.

„We are particularly pleased that MAN Truck & Bus is the first truck manufacturer to open its service locations for DocStop e.V. and in this way offer a variety of truck parking facilities for drivers during their visit to the doctor,” says Joachim Fehrenkötter, Chairman of the Board at DocStop für Europäer e.V.

Last year, MAN Truck & Bus Germany launched the „Driving for Germany” initiative with the aim of improving the image of the professional driver and improving everyday working life.

At the same time, the public is to be made aware of the important contribution that professional drivers make on a daily basis to ensure the basic supply of goods and services in the country.

„As a commercial vehicle manufacturer, we would like to make our contribution to sustainably improving the everyday working lives of drivers as part of our 'Driving for Germany’ initiative. Providing parking facilities at our service outlets for the DocStop association’s en-route medical care is therefore a logical step for us,” commented Christoph Huber, Chairman of the Executive Board of MAN Truck & Bus Deutschland GmbH.
