Urban Exploration - The abandoned truck garage

We received photos from a traveler and compiled them into a historical summary.

Here is the translation of your account of the Iveco maintenance site, presented as a single narrative:

This is an urbex visit to a former Iveco truck maintenance site. While in transit between two other locations, this place was discovered entirely by chance. The obvious abandonment of the street-front showroom caught my eye, though otherwise, the state of neglect was quite discreet. It is a stroke of luck to be able to offer you this visit; in fact, outside of the people I have personally spoken to, I have never seen this place featured anywhere else. It truly felt like a small moment of fortune during a day of gray skies and scattered rain.

The site is immense, both in the number of buildings and their sheer scale. The aerial view perfectly reflects what must have happened here: an endless parade of trucks in a place tailored specifically for them. One sees it in the massive height of the doors, the size of the halls, and the staggering volume of spare parts left behind. It is a pleasure to imagine the expertise of all those heavy-goods mechanics—their grease-stained hands and their specialized craftsmanship. It is all quite brilliant.

The decline of this location was not due to bankruptcy but rather a relocation, as evidenced by an old poster found in the showroom. Inevitably, the future of this vast plot will involve new industrial or commercial activities; it is perfectly situated at the gateway to the city with plenty of space to offer.

The former employees of this establishment were (and perhaps still are today, in some unknown "elsewhere"): BLANC Jean-Luc, RAMOS Maritza, BIELER Sylvie, LESCUYER Dominique, CROISY Aurélie, PAGLIARELLA Jean-Claude, PAGLIARELLA Laurence, FAVIER Cédric, PABA Nathalie, CHANEL Fabienne, JANTON Jean-Louis, CROZET Jean-Noël, JUFFARD Alexandre, GAILLOT Jérôme, PERRET Sylvain, LORDEY Anthony, CHANDON Sylvain, GAILLARDON Thierry, JACQUEMET Olivier, BERGERY Denis, BRAZIER Franck, MONGEAT Charles, VEUILLET Lionel, BRANCHE Robert, MOINAT Jean-Paul, HASANI Ljridon, JOSSERAND Jérôme, FAVIER Frédéric, and RIBAILLER Philippe.

I now invite you to explore the vastness of these technical halls, the offices, and the showroom. Welcome to the world of big rigs!
