Book your own train

The Company Shuttle unit of Hupac Intermodal serves customers who charter their own trains and secure capacity at an attractive price. Each company shuttle runs exclusively for up to three partners who take on the full loading commitment. Your advantages:

  • customised schedules meeting your specific needs
  • cost effective with fully automated standard procedures
  • procurement power of a strong partner.

We make your challenge a success 

Trains are our job. We provide our know-how to ensure that your trains are an instant success. From purchasing railway services and operational control of the day-to-day business to taking action in case of disturbances and wagon management – we act as an interface to the railways and free you up to focus on your core business.

 

Tailor-made to satisfy highest expectations

Each train is individually arranged to meet the customer’s needs. Based on the required route, schedule and frequency, we evaluate the needed components and define the required service level. For example, the package may comprise:

  • wagon rental and fleet management
  • terminal services
  • train monitoring and operational control 24/7
  • backup wagons or compositions
  • further added value services such as positioning of empty equipment, in-plant services, etc.

Integrated order management

Orders are processed efficiently. We install a customised order-to-billing system for each train with effective IT integration between the customer’s ERP software and Hupac’s operating system.

 

When do you run your first company train?

A company shuttle offers guaranteed loading capacity at an attractive price. In addition, your own intermodal train is a strong statement for climate-friendly, efficient transport solutions – a clear competitive advantage in the logistics market.

Traffic ban in Denmark: alternative solutions for intermodal transport

On 22 January 2021 the Danish Safety Authority has banned the circulation of semitrailers on pocket wagons on the Danish railway network. The trigger for this decision was the report of a semi-trailer that was not correctly anchored in its pocket wagon while crossing the Storebælt Bridge by train.

 

The traffic ban has a validity of 14 days. Technical investigations are in progress.

 

In order to maintain the traffic in this difficult environment, Hupac foresees short term gateway solution to/from Taulov for containers and swap bodies as of week 4. If needed, alternative solutions for trailers with rerouting from/to Hamburg and other terminals close to the German-Danish border will be set up.

 

It is now crucial to fully understand the underlying reasons for the reported situation and to introduce appropriate measures. Hupac is available to support the European process of technical analysis and to share its know-how.

 

The Hupac Group has a fleet of about 3.400 pocket wagons and carries around 200.000 semitrailers per year. The current technology of fixing the semitrailer on the wagon is similar to the technology adopted for fixing the semitrailer on the truck. It is the result of decades of experience and can be considered as safe.
