DP World launches Southampton driver hub

[ September 12, 2025   //   ]

DP World has opened a driver welfare facility at its Southampton container terminal and logistics hub. The 24,000 sq. m facility is modelled on the successful Hireco Truck Park at DP World’s London Gateway Logistics Park and will be operated by Cartland Truck Stop. It offers a restaurant, café, bathrooms, showers and more than 130 secure parking spaces, alongside service bays. The facility also includes two twin electric points capable of fully charging a HGV in 1.5-2 hours.

It follows the launch of DP World’s Low Carbon Truck Programme at Southampton and London Gateway earlier this month, which will run for an initial two-year period and is designed to accelerate the decarbonisation of UK road freight by supplying participating hauliers with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) at the same cost as diesel.
