5 Key Figures
• AVERAGE DAILY TOTALS FOR TRAINS
Freight Shuttles 219 per day Passenger Shuttles 102 per day Eurostar 70 per day Railfreight 15 per day
• 3300 EMPLOYEES
• 2003 TURNOVER = m € 812
6 Freight Shuttles
• Leader on Channel crossings with 42% market share • 1.2 million trucks ==> 14 million tonnes annually
• 16 FREIGHT SHUTTLES offers six departures an hour ==>a shuttle every ten minutes
• Eurotunnel Freight is the fastest, way to cross the Channel ==>35 mn transit time • Average transit time ==> 82 mns from check-in to unloading • Compared to average transit time by ferry = 2 hours saved per crossing = 4 hours per rotation • Punctuality = 99%

8 Become a motor for rail freight development
The problem: Current UK/Continent rail freight volumes are low Why? Ö Quality Ö Gauge The need: Customers want to use rail freight Why? Ö Economy can’t be built on road transport alone Ö Port and road congestion Ö Driver shortage and driving time restrictions
9 Eurotunnel goals: Increase attractiveness of rail and divert traffic from North Sea Ports
Eurotunnel Market Capture Opportunity
•Divert part of the UK trains to the UK via Channel Tunnel Generate instead of transhipment intermodal UK via North Sea Ports business via tunnel through: •Partner with specialised forwarders, •better service logistic players, inter-modal operator • Equivalent or lower costs

13 Traction Services Organisation and regulation
Ö The train operating company Europorte 2 will be a subsidiary separate from Eurotunnel (infrastructure manager)
Ö The operational team has been implemented:
– to prepare operations: procedures, recruiting, training,
– to integrate their requirements into the network and duly process safety certificates,
– asses possible alternatives for multi-country routes, locomotives and drivers,
– address all the regulatory and administrative requirements
14 Traction Services Operations
Locomotives
Ö On the French network (between Basel and Fréthun)
Alstom Prima: triple voltage electric loco (25kV, 15kV, 1.5kV) - 4.2MW certified in France (being delivered to SNCF as 437 000), on-going certification in Germany (expected Spring 2004)
5 locomotives ordered from Alstom for the end of 2004
Ö Through the Tunnel (between Fréthun and Dollands Moor)
Existing electric Class 92 locos (leased from EWS or EPS)
