ATLANDES is honored to be invited to take part to a special PIARC session on road freight on October 8th at 5.15 pm (Paris time). More following link.

On July 9th 2020, ATLANDES proposed truck drivers from all nations to gather on Porte des Landes Ouest service area to take part to an event promoting road employees safety. This 3rd edition gathered more than 60 drivers, despite the COVID-19 context, who had the opportunity to discuss with road patrol employees. They took part to the photo shooting and to a short “contactless quizz” on road safety..

 

 

 

An always very friendly time, where smiles were present though sometimes covered by masks ! Thanks to all participants !

→ A “contactless” but still 100% human event for the safety of motorway patrolmen! ←

Atlandes and Egis Exploitation Aquitaine, in partnership with Truck Parking Europe renew, for the 3rd year, their event for truckers.

Besides intending to heighten truckers awareness of patrollers security, this year the purpose is to thank truck drivers for their commitment during the crisis linked to COVID-19.

 

A human and positive event

The operation aims to generate the commitment of HGV drivers by making them actors so that they durably strengthen their awareness of patrollers working on the motorway. The objective of the event is to create a friendly moment in which truck drivers and patrollers share a moment around a cup of coffee.

 

 

Photocall, “contactless” quiz and gifts for truckers

A transitory photographic studio will be set up on the rest area to create a strong link between truckers and Egis employees. They will take part together to a « shooting » while respecting barrier gestures, and each truck driver will leave with a photo and a customized t-shirt, a mark of his commitment! An innovative quiz (contactless buzzer working with light beams) will also be proposed in order to recall security practices.

Cultural moment

Jean-Claude Raspiengeas, author of ” Routiers – Ils sont au coeur de nos vies” will be present on this occasion to autograph his book *. Atlandes supports the author by purchasing a few copies of the book which will be distributed to patrol officers. The general public will also have the opportunity to interact with the writer and buy the book at the service station shop.

*Released on June 10 and available for sale at the 4 service stations (Aire de la Porte des Landes + Aire de l’Océan)

 

 

 

During the Coronavirus health crisis, in order to ensure continuity of freight road transport, all the staff on A63 is mobilized : patrolmen, service station staff, towing services, and security forces.

Among expected services, sanitary facilities (showers, toilets) remain our priority.

For this, it is of the utmost importance to TAKE CARE of the sanitary facilities, RESPECT staff who is keeping them clean and basic protective measures

It is part of #HeWorks #ICare commitment !

We remind you that on A63 between Salles (exit 21) and Saint Geours de Maremne (exit 9), 5 showers are available on each rest areas : Lugos, Labouheyre, Onesse-Laharie et Magescq, Est and West for each location.

From October 21st to 25th was held in Singapore the 26th ITS World Congress. Since its organisation in Bordeaux in 2015, a symposium called “Transforming Freight Movement through ITS (TFMI)” is organised during the congress to specifically adress freight topics.
It presented this year three special interest sessions, and was opened this year by Young-Tae Kim, General Secretary of the OECD/ITF.

Considering the importance of road freight on A63, Atlandes was invited to moderate the first session, “Efficient and sustainable operation of commercial vehicles on highways”.
The second session focussed on Connected and Automated Vehicles, and Truck Platooning, while the third one adressed the urban questions of smart multimodal logistics.

Following success of the 1st edition in June 2018, ATLANDES and Egis Exploitation Aquitaine renew, in partnership with Truck Parking Europe (PTV), #HeWorks#ICare event for truckers.

It is this year part of the patrollers security week, from October 14th to October 20th.

This event is intended to heighten truckers awareness of patrollers security through a positive and human approach.

The event will take place at Magescq Ouest, on Thursday, October 17th, from 10:30 to 17:00

 

DESIGNED TO REACH FOREIGN TRUCKERS

On A63 – Moors motroway, the right lane which is most often offset by security vehicle protecting broken down vehicles, is almost exclusively used by trucks, most of them being driven by foreigners rarely speaking french.

The design of this event consists in building up support of truckers with visual elements so they can become actors and strengthen durably their awareness (I Care) of patrollers working on the motorway (He Works).

A FRIENDLY MOMENT AROUND AN INCLUSIVE PHOTOCALL

A transitory photographic studio will be set up on the rest area to bind a strong link between truck drivers and patrollers, two populations who never meet except in case of dramatic situations. Egis Exploitation Aquitaine employees and truck drivers will take part together to a « shooting » after having shared a coffee. After this gathering, each driver will leave with a photo and a customised T shirt, mark of his commitment.

In order to raise more widely public and light vehicle drivers awareness, pictures will be cast on social networks and exposed on rest and service areas. For a lasting impact, one picture from last edition is displayed in 4×3 format on the motorway side.
