Eurotunnel has launched a new maintenance service for tractor
units and semi-trailers parked in Le Truck Village, located on its
French terminal.
Mobile workshops that can intervene in the secure truck
park Customers in the secure Le Truck Village can now have
their tractor and semi-trailer repaired on the French Eurotunnel
site, before or after their shuttle crossing through the Channel
Tunnel. A workshop vehicle will be present at Le Truck Village
every day to carry out repairs and maintenance operations. Mobile
maintenance units are equipped with all the necessary tools to
intervene independently on customer fleets: impact wrenches,
compressors, battery chargers, workbenches, heat guns, etc…
This new service has been set up in partnership with TIP Trailer
Services, the European leader in semi-trailer rental and
maintenance. “Our mobile maintenance units allow us to perform both
preventive and general mechanical maintenance as well as "small"
bodywork work” repairs, said Frederic Notte, Vice-President of
TIP for Southern Europe. “Our experienced technicians have the
skills and tools necessary for all diagnostics”.
Christian Dufermont, Freight Commercial Director of
Eurotunnel, said: “These new services for our freight customers
demonstrate our desire to increase our customer satisfaction, while
allowing them to cross the Channel with their goods as securely as
possible”.
