Alors que l'Europe est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 une p\u00e9nurie de plus d'un demi-million de chauffeurs routiers, cinq entreprises de transport de la province du Limbourg, en Belgique, proposent aux jeunes un parcours gratuit pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 ce m\u00e9tier.<\/p>\n

Cette initiative s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un effort europ\u00e9en croissant visant \u00e0 supprimer les barri\u00e8res \u00e0 l'acc\u00e8s co\u00fbteuses, alors que le secteur peine \u00e0 remplacer les conducteurs qui partent \u00e0 la retraite. Mais pour attirer une nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, il faudra peut-\u00eatre faire plus que simplement prendre en charge le co\u00fbt de leur permis.<\/p>\n

Les cinq Limbourg entreprises de transport et de logistique, t<\/span>En collaboration avec l'agence pour l'emploi 24\/7 Drive, la ville de Genk, le fonds sectoriel Travi et Welqome, ces acteurs unissent leurs forces pour lutter contre la p\u00e9nurie aigu\u00eb de chauffeurs routiers et s'appr\u00eatent \u00e0 proposer aux jeunes de moins de 26 ans un programme de formation enti\u00e8rement financ\u00e9 pour devenir chauffeurs routiers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Au cours de cette journ\u00e9e d'initiation, organis\u00e9e par les initiateurs du projet, les participants auront l'occasion d'essayer diff\u00e9rents types de v\u00e9hicules et d'\u00e9changer directement avec des employeurs r\u00e9gionaux, notamment D\u2019Advies, Veolia BeLux, Hermos Transport, H.Essers Infra et BD Logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concept du Limbourg<\/h4>\n

L'initiative du Limbourg suscite un vif int\u00e9r\u00eat. Les candidats retenus \u00e0 l'issue de la journ\u00e9e d'information commenceront en novembre leur formation en vue de l'obtention du permis de conduire C\/CE et de la certification \u2018 Code 95 \u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Une fois leur permis obtenu, ils passeront quelques jours aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s d'un conducteur exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 qui leur servira de mentor, puis pourront commencer \u00e0 travailler imm\u00e9diatement dans l'une des entreprises participantes de la r\u00e9gion du Limbourg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Autres pays et initiatives<\/h4>\n

La Belgique a d\u00e9j\u00e0 pris des mesures pour soutenir ce secteur ; par exemple, le VDAB (Service public flamand de l'emploi) propose aux demandeurs d'emploi une formation gratuite et certifi\u00e9e \u00e0 la conduite de poids lourds. <\/span><\/p>\n

Les Pays-Bas soutiennent les personnes qui changent de carri\u00e8re gr\u00e2ce aux employeurs et \u00e0 des financements sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 chaque secteur. Parall\u00e8lement, en Angleterre, le gouvernement finance directement les nouveaux arrivants sur le march\u00e9 du travail par le biais des \u2018 HGV Skills Bootcamps \u2019, qui proposent jusqu\u2019\u00e0 16 semaines de formation gratuite aux personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es de 19 ans et plus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secteur en difficult\u00e9<\/h4>\n

Le secteur des transports est confront\u00e9 depuis longtemps \u00e0 une p\u00e9nurie croissante de chauffeurs. <\/span>L'Europe est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 une p\u00e9nurie de 502 000 chauffeurs.\u00a0<\/span>Cela signifie que <\/span>les deux tiers des entreprises de transport europ\u00e9ennes interrog\u00e9es <\/span>sont oblig\u00e9es de refuser des commandes car elles ne trouvent pas suffisamment de chauffeurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, 13% de chauffeurs routiers europ\u00e9ens, soit environ 660 500 personnes, prendront leur retraite d\u2019ici 2030. W<\/span>Les conditions de travail jouent \u00e9galement un r\u00f4le : le manque de places de stationnement s\u00e9curis\u00e9es, des horaires de travail impr\u00e9visibles, un temps pass\u00e9 \u00e0 la maison insuffisant et un mauvais \u00e9quilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie priv\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cependant, Tous les postes de conducteur ne concernent pas n\u00e9cessairement le transport international longue distance. La distribution r\u00e9gionale, la collecte des d\u00e9chets et d\u2019autres activit\u00e9s de transport locales impliquent souvent des modes de travail tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Responsabilit\u00e9 partag\u00e9e<\/h4>\n

Cette profession n'a pas tr\u00e8s bonne r\u00e9putation, et le principal obstacle r\u00e9side peut-\u00eatre dans le co\u00fbt de l'obtention du permis de conduire. <\/span>De ce fait, les employeurs, les organisations professionnelles et les pouvoirs publics assument de plus en plus conjointement la responsabilit\u00e9 de la formation des chauffeurs routiers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le secteur europ\u00e9en des transports devra de plus en plus prendre l'initiative d'attirer et de former ses futurs conducteurs, alors que les conditions de travail restent un d\u00e9fi d'une ampleur au moins \u00e9quivalente.<\/span><\/p>\n

Camions autonomes<\/h4>\n

\u00c0 long terme, les camions autonomes pourraient\u00a0<\/span>contribuer \u00e0 pallier une grande partie de la p\u00e9nurie de conducteurs en Europe. Cet avenir a d\u00e9j\u00e0 commenc\u00e9 : aux \u00c9tats-Unis, des camions circulent d\u00e9sormais \u00e0 des fins commerciales sans conducteur. <\/span>Depuis avril 2025, Aurora Innovation exploite des camions autonomes sur les autoroutes am\u00e9ricaines.<\/span><\/p>\n

En Europe, les d\u00e9veloppements sont moins avanc\u00e9s, mais les progr\u00e8s s'acc\u00e9l\u00e8rent, notamment sur les tron\u00e7ons d'autoroute fixes et au sein des sites logistiques clos. <\/span>Les camions autonomes pourraient \u00e9galement s'imposer sur le march\u00e9 europ\u00e9en.<\/span><\/p>\n

L'Allemagne et les Pays-Bas m\u00e8nent actuellement des essais avec des camions \u00e9lectriques autonomes, et la Belgique a \u00e9galement un projet concret en cours. Le 16 septembre 2026, le port d'Anvers-Bruges a annonc\u00e9 le lancement d'un projet pilote commercial en collaboration avec Group-GTS et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 chinoise Inceptio Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c0 partir de cet automne, un camion autonome assurera, jour et nuit, le transport de conteneurs entre Kallo et les terminaux situ\u00e9s sur la rive droite du port d'Anvers. Les partenaires pr\u00e9voient d'\u00e9tendre leurs activit\u00e9s ult\u00e9rieurement, en \u00e9largissant leur champ d'action vers le North Sea Port et Rotterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personnel humain<\/h4>\n

L'automatisation pourrait \u00e0 terme all\u00e9ger la pression, mais il reste \u00e0 voir si cette \u00e9volution permettra de r\u00e9duire rapidement le besoin de chauffeurs routiers sur les longs trajets. <\/span>Apr\u00e8s tout, les camions autonomes ne pourront pas \u00eatre facilement mis en service partout ni \u00e0 tout moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il est bien plus facile d'automatiser un camion parcourant des centaines de kilom\u00e8tres sur une autoroute entre deux centres logistiques que d'automatiser un camion-poubelle \u00e0 Genk, un v\u00e9hicule de livraison desservant vingt magasins diff\u00e9rents ou un engin de chantier devant man\u0153uvrer sur des chantiers difficiles d'acc\u00e8s.<\/span><\/p>\n

En cons\u00e9quence, le m\u00e9tier de chauffeur routier devrait \u00e9voluer : les trajets longue distance seront progressivement automatis\u00e9s, tandis que la distribution locale, le transbordement, la supervision et les missions de transport complexes continueront de n\u00e9cessiter l'intervention de personnel humain.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
