The Zeeland-based company, de Aers Groep, is putting the finishing touches to the Truck Plaza, which is being built on the A11 in Zeebrugge, Belgium. One of the final major components of Truck Plaza Zeebrugge, which opened its doors this week, is the two-storey building housing a petrol station, a bakery, a restaurant and toilets.

For drivers feeling peckish or thirsty, Truck Plaza Zeebrugge offers extensive facilities. These include a two-storey building with a bakery and shop on the ground floor and a restaurant on the first floor, which is open to everyone. There are also toilet facilities and showers specifically for lorry drivers.

According to AB Interieurbouw, Truck Plaza Zeebrugge offers ‘a truck shop with a practical and functional interior’. In addition to the truck shop, the building also houses a sandwich bar and a restaurant. “With plenty of space around the building, it’s a great pit stop,” says AB Interieurbouw.

Accommodation facilities for lorry drivers consist of a fully secure and enclosed car park that is accessible exclusively to registered drivers. From this car park, only drivers who have parked there have access to the toilet block. This features separate facilities for men and women, as well as washing machines and tumble dryers which drivers can use.

Fuels

Aers Truck Plaza Zeebrugge also offers a range of fuels and charging facilities for lorry drivers and motorists. For lorries, there is B7 diesel, XTL/HVO100 diesel, AdBlue and red diesel. Passenger cars can refuel with Euro 95, Euro 98, diesel and HVO100. To support the energy transition, Truckplaza Zeebrugge offers several fast-charging stations for lorries and cars, and the installation of hydrogen pumps is planned for 2028.

Official opening

The official opening of the entire complex will take place on 25 September 2026. According to the Aardenburg-based company, Aers Truckplaza Zeebrugge will then offer ‘the place to be for lorry drivers who prioritise convenience, safety and future-oriented solutions’.

The Aers Group currently has a network of ten service stations in total; once Aers Truckplaza opens, this figure will rise to eleven. Four filling stations in the network are manned: Dirksland, Oostburg, Sluis and IJzendijke, of which Dirksland is currently the company’s largest refuelling site. Once Aers Truckplaza Zeebrugge opens its doors, it will be the largest and most comprehensive site.

The forthcoming September issue of Mobility Energy Magazine will feature an in-depth background article and an interview with Jackij Aers of the Aers Group.
