On 27 January, Eurotunnel carried its fifteen millionth truck since Cross Channel services began fifteen years ago.
The Geodis truck was transported on board a shuttle travelling between Coquelles and Folkestone.
Eurotunnel operates fifteen electrically-powered shuttles dedicated to heavy goods vehicles. These circulate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Eurotunnel Truck Shuttles cross the Channel almost 60,000 times, an average of 165 times a day or up to 7 times an hour.
This considerable flow - on average a million trucks a year - makes Eurotunnel the world leader in piggyback transport.
Geodis belongs to the Club for Sustainable Development in cross-Channel Freight Haulage. This brings together the major users of Eurotunnel Truck Shuttles for whom carbon emissions reduction is a key priority.
Other members of the Club include Eddie Stobart, SITRA, Waberer's, DSV, Arcese, GEFCO, DHL, UPS, Fedex, TSA, DailyFresh, Transalliance, Capitrans, TNT, Willy Betz, Norbert Dentressangle and RH Freight.
