The summer of 2024 will be remembered not only as a moment of global sporting celebration, but also as an extraordinary logistical challenge. This historic event, which captured the world’s attention, also represented a major milestone for Chabé. As a key service provider, the Group played an essential role in transporting thousands of people with remarkable precision and efficiency.
This success is the result of 6 months of intensive preparation. Nearly 2,000 interviews were conducted by a dedicated team of 7 people to select and train chauffeurs capable of meeting the specific needs of this event. Over a period of several days, the 550 chauffeurs recruited benefited from bespoke training provided by our teams, to guarantee an impeccable quality of service.
At the same time, the events team scouted out the various locations to define the best routes between passenger departures and arrivals. Launch meetings were also organised with the various stakeholders.
To meet our clients’ requirements, a team of experts ensured 24/7 availability to deal with requests and unforeseen events in real time, with an optimised response time of 90 minutes.
In this exceptional context, Chabé mobilised considerable resources to ensure the transport of thousands of people across France, in 9 cities (Bordeaux, Châteauroux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Saint-Étienne), including Paris.
These services were made possible by the mobilisation of 550 professional chauffeurs, supported by a team of over 300 employees from various departments. The scale of this project illustrates Chabé’s ability to orchestrate bespoke transport solutions that meet the most exacting requirements, while pursuing our day-to-day commitments with the same rigour.
In addition to its operational expertise, Chabé reaffirmed its commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The Group stood out for its strong commitment to inclusion, in particular by recruiting people who are far from employment.
Around 20% of the drivers mobilised for this event were people in rehabilitation, a choice that reflects the company’s values in terms of diversity and inclusion.
Chabé’s commitment to people with reduced mobility was also demonstrated by the adaptation of its fleet. Of the 900 vehicles mobilised for the event, a number were specially designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility, ensuring maximum accessibility.
In addition, with a view to reducing the ecological footprint, measures have been taken to optimise journeys and select less polluting vehicles, in line with national environmental objectives.
This event marked a crucial milestone for the family business, demonstrating once again its ability to manage very large-scale operations while maintaining an irreproachable level of service.
For Chabé, this mission represents a high point in its long history, confirming its position as an expert in the bespoke mobility sector and opening up new prospects for the future.
