Commitment to climate and environmental responsibility

 

As a pioneer in intermodal transport, Hupac actively contributes to reducing environmental impacts by shifting freights from road to rail. This modal shift is one of the most effective ways to lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the logistics sector.

 

In addition, we work to reduce noise emissions, optimise the use of resources such as water and chemicals and promote biodiversity. Minimising waste and ensuring the safe transport of goods are also central to our environmental responsibility.

Empowering intermodal south-east network: new shuttle train Geleen <=> Vienna

Hupac launches a new shuttle train linking RTC Geleen in the Netherlands with Wels CT and WienCont in Austria. “Another step that extends our intermodal network and responds to the increasing demand of intermodal connections from/to south-east Europe”, says Renzo Capanni, director Shuttle Net South East Europe.

 

Initially, the service runs with two roundtrips per week. Customers can count on competitive transit times at A/B level and seamless ongoing connections to Hungary (Budapest Chapel), Turkey (Halkali), Romania (Ploiesti) and Bulgaria (Stara Zagora).

 

“A single consignment traveling on the 1000 km distance between Geleen and Vienna will reduce CO2emissions by 1.4 tons on average”, underlines Capanni. “A valuable contribution to the European climate target in the Year of Rail”.
