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.

Building resilience, driving change: the Intermodal Forum 2025

On 16 May 2025, more than 250 guests from across Europe gathered in Lugano for the Hupac Intermodal Forum – an event dedicated to exploring the future of combined transport in times of disruption and change.


Under the theme "Resilience & Digital Transformation", industry leaders and logistics experts engaged in high-level discussions on how to strengthen Europe's intermodal system – both physically and digitally. Two keynote sessions and panel debates explored the pressing challenges facing the sector: infrastructure bottlenecks, digital integration, and how to reverse the trend of declining rail freight volumes.
In his welcome speech, Hupac Chairman Hans-Jörg Bertschi made a strong call for political action. “We need a reliable and resilient rail infrastructure across Europe,” he said. His appeal focused on five key measures:

  • Coordinated rail construction planning with diversion capacity and no full closures
  • Swiss funding for the upgrade of the Vosges tunnels as part of a new 4-meter left-bank corridor
  • Support for hybrid locomotive operations on the Wörth–Strasbourg route
  • Continuation of Swiss operating subsidies for combined transport beyond 2030
  • Active Swiss leadership in the North Sea–Rhine–Mediterranean corridor

These proposals aim to restore the competitiveness of intermodal transport and secure the success of Switzerland’s modal shift policy.


On the industry side, Hupac is responding with concrete actions. CEO Michail Stahlhut presented the company’s new “Pipeline Concept”, which focuses on high-frequency, corridor-based transport services. Combined with a bunch of resilience measures and targeted digitalisation, this approach promises more robust, flexible, and productive intermodal operations.


The Forum concluded with a clear message: resilience is not just a response to disruption – it’s the foundation for the future of intermodal transport.
