Up & Down Mont Blanc

This video puts you in the driver's seat as the truck, a Volvo FH12 Globetrotter pulling a 13.6-metre box trailer, makes a journey through the Mont Blanc Tunnel between Italy and France. The trip begins with the climb up the Italian side of the mountain and after passing through the tunnel, it ends with the descent on the French side.
