Rail Freight
ON 28 April, Eurotunnel inaugurated the first of three new, third-generation freight shuttles. The three 800-metre long shuttles are each made up of 32 carrier wagons, three loaders and a club car for the truck drivers. Made to order by WBN Waggonbau Niesky GmbH for Eurotunnel at a cost of €40 million, the three new shuttles will strengthen the existing fleet and bring an additional 20% capacity, enabling Eurotunnel to offer up to eight freight departures per hour.
