Travel Green with Eurotunnel Le Shuttle

Not only is Eurotunnel the quickest and easiest way to travel to France, it’s also one of the most environmentally friendly. Eurotunnel has been dedicated to green travel since its conception, and is the only cross-Channel operator to reveal their carbon emissions, which they have done since 2006.

The entire structure of the Channel Tunnel has been designed with eco-friendliness in mind, marine life is protected as the tunnel doesn’t interfere with their life and fragile ecosystem, and the trains are electric (from low carbon sources), therefore no air pollution and very low greenhouse gas emissions.

It is well known that car and rail travel has a lower carbon footprint than air travel, but how do the cross-Channel methods compare? Eurotunnel produces on average 2kg of CO2 per car per crossing, compared to 147kg of CO2 for a typical Dover-Calais ferry. That’s 73x less! The Eurotunnel Le Shuttle terminal is also 25km closer to London than the ferry terminal, which will reduce fuel consumption and save up to 5kg of CO2 emissions, for passenger cars too.

Eurotunnel also provides charging stations to the growing number of Shuttle customers travelling with electric vehicles, at both the Folkestone and Coquelles terminals.
