Success can also be attributed to the deployment of Statcom technology, a static synchronous compensator connected to an electrical railway traction system, which allows up to 16 latest generation trains to run at the same time through the Tunnel.

As a result, there is an overall capacity of 1,000 trains per day passing through the tunnel.

Europorte’s success can partly be attributed to its growth in Germany and Belgium with the extension of the Flex Express network. This increased train frequency and supported the opening of a Europorte hub in Luisenthal, Germany.

Environmental responsibility will also increase the use of rail as a popular mode of transport. Getlink has strengthened its climate ambitions and aims to reduce carbon emissions by 54% by 2030, following a 30% reduction by 2025.

Getlink signed an agreement with the InVivo group to provide for the Soufflet malteries trains which use Oleo100 biofuel. This development reduces carbon emissions by 1,300 tonnes each year.
