LeShuttle lorry carrier (1994 lattice type)
The open wagons that carried lorries through the Channel Tunnel on the first lorry Shuttles from 1994: a flat deck under a canopy roof, carried on lattice-framed sides about 18.4 ft (5.6 m) high. The Arbel wagons that followed from 1999 have no lattice, and the Breda-Fiat Shuttles have since been dismantled.
