Eurotunnel has won the Best Innovation award, for its Eurotunnel
Border Pass, at the SITL 2021 Exhibition (Transport and Logistics
Innovation Week), being held in Paris this week, in the category
Technologies, IOT et Systèmes d’Information.
Since the opening of the service on 1 January, 2021 as part of
Brexit, more than 300,000 Eurotunnel Border Passes have been used
by freight drivers transiting to and from Great Britain using the
Channel Tunnel.
This service, unique to the undersea cross-Channel route, makes
it possible to exchange information necessary for the passage of
goods from the carrier, via digital communications to the
authorities of both the two countries, in a rapid and secure
manner. The driver does not need to get out of the truck when
crossing the border, or even to present a document when arriving on
site as the license plate of the truck, included in the Pass, is
recognised upon arrival at the terminal.
Since mid-July, and given the success of this process, dedicated
Eurotunnel Border Pass lanes have been set up at the Pit Stop
located on the French terminal giving an advantage in speed of
crossing for those using the Border Pass. Further dedicated lanes
will be opened on the Folkestone terminal by the end of 2021.
The simplification of the process offered by the Eurotunnel
Border Pass has improved on-site traffic flow by 20%.
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer of Getlink, stated:
“The massive use of the Eurotunnel Border Pass by our customers
demonstrates the value of this offer. The feedback on the service
is excellent, and carriers trust us to adapt our tools as UK import
regulations are introduced from January 2022. Eurotunnel continues
to offer our customers the fastest and easiest way to cross the
Channel.”
