Modal shift policy

One of Hupac's main objectives is the growth of combined transport in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In 2023, Hupac Intermodal transported 538,000 road consignments or 10.4 million net tonnes in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In total, the Hupac Group moved 975,000 road consignments.

 

Institutions

We maintain a constructive and transparent relationship with Swiss and European institutions. Our many years of experience are valued and in demand, for example for the further development of transport policy framework conditions. We are a member of numerous trade associations and working groups that are dedicated to promoting our industry.

 

Local communities

Hupac is committed to the development of local communities by supporting projects and associations.

Gotthard: limitations only for few days

Starting from Sunday evening, freight traffic is expected to start again on the Gotthard line. In the meantime the Hupac trains are diverted via the Lötschberg/Simplon axis. Only the domestic connections Basel <=> Chiasso and Aarau <=> Stabio can’t be operational at present.

                   

The authorities concerned have taken all measures in order to support rail freight traffic at best:

  • Infrastructure managers in Germany, Switzerland and Italy work together closely in order to offer the maximum capacity for international freight traffic despite the Gotthard line interruption
  • Planned track works on the Simplon axis have been postponed
  • Capacities in Domodossola II shunting station have been increased by putting additional locomotives into operation and by reinforcing shunting teams
  • International railway companies join their forces with the aim to reach the highest possible capacity
  • Customs offices in Domodossola II will take up 24-hour service if needed.   

Delays may occur up to the complete processing of the residual trains, but starting from Monday 19.11.2012 the situation is expected to turn back to normality within few days.

 

Our customer team is at disposal round the clock for further information.
