🚄 The European Commission is investing over €7 billion in 134 transport projects to boost low-carbon initiatives, with 80% going to rail. This aligns with the EU's climate goals and the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), a policy that aims to create a coherent, efficient, and multimodal transport network across the EU. Generating less than 1% of national CO2 emissions, the rail sector provides one of the lowest carbon transport and mobility solutions. Ensuring Europe's transport network evolves towards efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship is essential for the decarbonisation of travel and trade. By its very nature, Getlink's activities are low-carbon, and the Group is strongly committed to reducing its impact on the environment. We can only look forward to seeing these projects coming to life! #lowcarbon #transport #rail 👉 https://lnkd.in/gcgT7dVZ

Saviez-vous que depuis 2000, plus de 4 millions d'animaux de compagnie ont traversé le tunnel sous la Manche ? 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐈 Une équipe de Groupe TF1 s’est rendue chez Eurotunnel pour découvrir comment traverser le tunnel sous la Manche avec son chien, son chat ou son furet avec LeShuttle. Sur nos terminaux français et britanniques, des équipes spécialement formées accueillent les animaux et leurs familles dans un espace dédié pour vérifier que tout est en ordre pour voyager, avant de se dégourdir les pattes dans l'aire de jeux !   En effet, les chiens, les chats et les furets voyageant avec leurs propriétaires doivent présenter leur passeport et preuve de vaccination pour être admis dans l'Union européenne. Ces contrôles existent depuis plus de 20 ans pour les animaux de compagnie entrant au Royaume-Uni et ont été mis en place en janvier 2021 avec le Brexit, lors de leur entrée dans l'Union européenne.   #highsimplicity #onthemove #holidays

High-speed rail is the future of low carbon transport in Europe!   Getlink welcomes HS1 Ltd's initiative to carry out a study on the expansion of London's St Pancras station to enhance service frequency. This will allow to accommodate more high-speed trains through the Channel Tunnel and to Europe's major cities. Making the train attractive, with modern facilities capable of handling large numbers of passengers, is essential to increase the transport sector’s decarbonisation.   At Getlink, we are ready 👍 👉We have reduced the time to market from10 to 5 years for operators wishing to launch a new service between London and Cologne, London and Frankfurt, London and Geneva, London and Zurich. 👉 The Channel Tunnel is equipped with the world's most powerful synchronous static compensator, capable of running 1,000 trains per day, and can accommodate the latest generation of high-speed locomotives.   #Lowcarbon #highsimplicity #highspeed #transport #train Eurotunnel   https://lnkd.in/epeww7jy

🚇The Channel Tunnel has one of the busiest railway lines in the world with 400 trains crossing the Channel every day ! Ensuring the maintenance and handling of rolling stock while minimising downtime is a daily challenge. 💪   In June 1998, the world's longest rail maintenance workshop was opened to welcome the 800m long shuttles, it is the length of 4 TGVs! 🚄🚄🚄🚄 Dedicated to regular shuttle maintenance, the workshop measures 838m and can accommodate two complete shuttles simultaneously. Trains are brought in for maintenance and each wheel is scanned by the Wheel Measurement System (WMS), which takes a series of measurements. The accuracy and frequency of these measurements makes it possible to anticipate maintenance needs. This allows the underfloor lathe to be scheduled for wheel reprofiling, ensuring that the availability of the equipment for commercial services is not affected.    Today, the maintenance of rolling stock has reached a new level and can be predicted thanks to AI! Indeed, sensors have been installed on the shuttles to provide data on various situations, such as braking, allowing some maintenance operations to be scheduled when necessary. We'll be sharing more AI stories that show how data is a real asset for maintenance and infrastructure!   #30years30stories Eurotunnel LeShuttle LeShuttle Freight

The Tour de France is just starting, the occasion to remember that 10 years ago, Tour de France winner Chris Froome did what was never done before, he cycled the 50 km from the UK to France in the Channel Tunnel, 100 meters under the sea.   Froome’s world-first ride was completed in approximately 55 minutes with peak speed reaching 65 km per hour.   At the time, Froome said : “To become the first person ever to cycle through the Eurotunnel was right up there with some of the most iconic rides I’ve ever done – this must have been one of very few ‘world first’ rides left.” 🚴♀️   #30years30stories Eurotunnel #onthemove #TDF2024 #TourdeFrance

Europorte, a Getlink entity, and Kerlink, have announced the development of 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲, a revolutionary traceability and monitoring solution for all freight activities (road, rail, air and sea). Track Value is the first industrial application dedicated to the freight and logistics sector to incorporate data transmission via Kinéis space connectivity🛰 The solution intends to improve the management of flows by digitizing multimodal transport activities, for better quality and reliability of services. #innovation #IoT #IoTsatellite #freight #logistics #traceability https://rb.gy/7y0w0d

As concessionaire of the #ChannelTunnel – the first rail infrastructure designed in open access thirty years ago by our visionary predecessors – we have been the pioneers in offering an equal service with attractive conditions giving high visibility to all rail operators. Eurotunnel has anticipated growing demand for rail with substantial investment in a upgraded electric installation that allows up to 1,000 trains passing through the tunnel every day. The company has also been working intensively to simplify the development of new-generation high-speed trains by standardising safety norms and helping manufacturers integrate them. We have collaborated with European rail infrastructure managers to simplify the launch of new direct high-speed routes. Altogether, we have managed to reduce the time-to-market down from 10 to 5 years for new rail passenger services to meet the growing demand for low-carbon mobility.   To know more about how we achieved this and what are the plans ahead, read the latest interview of Jean-Pierre Ramirez, Railway Network Director at Eurotunnel, to International Railway Journal. Thank you to Robert Preston and Kevin Smith for their keen interest. #lowcarbon #highsimplicity #onthemove
