Some events in the workshop’s annual calendar are not listed in the order book, but in the fixed-date calendar. On Saturday 11 July 2026, the town of Olot in the Catalan province of Girona once again belonged to the lorries: The Team Truck Olot invited to the twelfth Truck Rally — an event that has long since become a fixture in the calendars of transport enthusiasts. Right at the heart of it all: Alltrucks, alongside its Spanish partner Nordest Trucks.

Olot is familiar territory for the network. As early as 2025, Alltrucks was here on the square alongside Nordest Trucks. The gathering follows in the tradition of the annual lorry pilgrimage in honour of San Cristóbal, the patron saint of travellers — a cherished fixture for the Spanish lorry industry.

Networking also means being present where our partners’ customers are celebrating. A stand at the Olot festival grounds reaches drivers, business owners and families in an atmosphere that no trade fair can offer, and boosts the independent garage’s visibility in its region.

A regular fixture in the Catalan truck racing calendar

What the Team Truck Olot organises year after year has become a must-visit event for transport enthusiasts in Catalonia. Customers, friends and family gathered at the event site on 11 July — and the organiser’s banner fluttered above the square, hoisted high above the rows of lorries by a loading crane.

The lettering Sant Cristòfol The text on the banner refers to the origins of the gathering: the lorry pilgrimage in honour of the patron saint of travellers, which has been bringing the industry and the town of Olot together for years.

At the stand: Alltrucks joins Nordest Trucks

Alltrucks wasn’t just a bystander in 2026 either, but accompanied its partner Nordest Trucks right at the stand. In front of the DAF service vehicle and the Alltrucks fleet displays, the team showed their colours by holding up large Alltrucks banners.

The stand’s giveaway helped to beat the Catalan July heat: Sun hats He even wore the straw hats himself for the visitors and the team at Nordest Trucks and Alltrucks.

Over 200 lorries and a programme for the whole family

The highlight of the day was the large lorry exhibition: More than 200 vehicles arrived in Olot, including elaborately customised show trucks, where the paintwork, lighting and accessories are all spot on, right down to the smallest detail.

Alongside this, Team Truck Olot put on a programme that went beyond the industry: activities for families, a group lunch — the Brotherhood Lunch — and musical acts turned the gathering into a community festival, where customers, friends and families alike had a great time.

Highlight: the parade through the streets of Olot

This was followed by the moment that both participants and the audience had been waiting for most of all: the Parade through the streets of Olot. Along the route, spectators once again gathered at various points to watch the vehicles as they passed by.

One lorry after another, the convoy set off and made its way through the city in a festive atmosphere — a scene that perfectly captures the spirit of the event: the industry is putting itself on display, and the city is taking notice.

For Alltrucks, days like this are all about networking in action. Via 650 partner garages in 18 countries form the backbone of the network. The portrait of our Italian partner also illustrates just how varied this regional proximity can be across Europe OVID: independent garages that are firmly established in their local area.
