Regulatory News:
Launched in September 2021, the Getlink (Paris:GET)
unaccompanied freight service, which enables transport customers to
send unaccompanied trailers through the Channel Tunnel, has seen
continuous growth since its inception and, more recently, a marked
acceleration since March 2022, with more than 1,000 trailers
carried.
This service, which is fully aligned with the Group’s
diversification strategy, adds to the range of sustainable
logistics solutions provided for hauliers. The transport of
trailers, handled by Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Freight teams on the two
Eurotunnel terminals, operates 24/7 and generates 40 times less CO2
than ferries1.
This service benefits from several competitive advantages
including speed, ease and flexibility and is supported by the
Group’s unique customs expertise for the border crossing, using the
Eurotunnel Border Pass.
Christian Dufermont, Freight Commercial Director, stated:
“Our service is growing strongly because it answers the three
principal challenges in the supply chain today: decarbonisation,
lack of truck drivers and the sharp rise in the cost of fuel”.
