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.

Hupac Intermodal saves around 1.1 million tonnes of CO2

Hupac supports the European Green Deal. With our intermodal network, thousands of transport companies can carry out their transports safely and ecologically by rail – throughout Europe up to the Far East.

 

Last year, Hupac Intermodal saved more than 1.1 million tonnes of CO₂ and around 13 billion megajoules of energy compared to pure road transport. This corresponds to a reduction of 89% in CO₂ emissions and 74% in energy consumption (source Ecotransit).

 

Also in the current year, Hupac is committed to strengthening the network and to achieving further qualitative improvements. Together with our customers and partners, we help to ensure that rail can take over a growing share of freight transport and thus achieve the climate targets.
