CO2e and energy savings

In 2024, the traffic operated by Hupac Intermodal generated 129,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions. According to the Ecotransit system, this represents a saving of 89% or 1.1 million tonnes of CO2e compared to pure road transport. The estimated value for the total transport of the Hupac Group is 1.3 million tonnes of CO2e emissions.

 

Energy consumption is also an important and not insignificant figure for measuring the climate impact of combined transport. Compared to road transport, the Hupac Intermodal network saved 11.2 billion megajoules in 2024. This is a reduction of 74% compared to road transport.

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.

EU Commission replies to the open letters

Please download the Commissioner Bulc’s responses to the Rastatt open letters signed by 25 European rail freight associations.

 

Key messages from the EU Commissioner:

  • We should use the existing EU solutions and in particular the rail freight corridors to make the European rail system more resilient, before setting up any new structures.
  • The responsibility is on the sector to take better ownership of these structures and use them to solve international issues!
  • The sector should work on developing simplified language solutions for rail in order to support possible future EU legislative changes.
  • The  EU Commission agrees that the competences of Rail Freight Corridors for the management of cross-border operations needs to be improved, and asks the sector to develop these proposals.
  • For improving international coordination of infrastructure works the EU Commission points to the existing obligations of the Rail Freight Corridors and new EU legislation aimed at strengthening coordination of Infrastructure Managers for
  • EU will facilitate coordination meetings between Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings, and other relevant stakeholders at European level.
