91% less passenger vehicles crossed Eurotunnel in april 2020

In the context of the lockdown measures imposed by the French and British governments on the 17^th and 23^rd March respectively, prohibiting all travel considered to be non-essential, Eurotunnel focused on ensuring the supply of critical goods between France and the United Kingdom via its Truck and Passenger Shuttle services.

This restriction does not apply to cars and vans travelling in the Passenger Shuttles, as drivers and passengers remain in their vehicles during the crossing, without coming into direct physical contact with staff or passengers.

Le Shuttle Freight carried almost 80,000 trucks in April 2020, mainly due to the resilience of demand for food, pharmaceutical and e-commerce goods.

With an average of 4 departures per hour, Le Shuttle is better adapted to this type of product than maritime transport. Since 1^st January, more than 466,000 trucks have crossed the Channel using our Shuttles.

In April 2020, the Passenger Shuttles carried almost 20,000 passenger vehicles. This figure should be seen in light of the very severe restrictions in relation to border crossings imposed by the French and British governments.

Since 1 January, almost 440,000 passenger vehicles have crossed the Channel on board of Passenger Shuttles.
