CO2 and energy savings

In 2023, the Hupac Group's continental transport caused CO2 emissions of 138,000 tonnes. According to Ecotransit, this represents a saving of 89% or 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 compared to pure road transport. The estimated value for the Hupac Group's total transport is 1.4 million tonnes of CO2.

 

Energy consumption is also an important indicator for the carbon footprint of combined transport. In 2023, the Hupac Intermodal network saved 13 billion megajoules compared to road transport. The reduction effect is 74% compared to road transport.

 

CO2 certification for customers

Silent freight wagons

Hupac's wagon fleet is noise-reduced. All wagons are fitted with brakes made of a low-noise synthetic resin composite. New wagons are preferably procured with disc brakes, a braking system that further reduces noise emissions.
