Maritime Logistics

Customer driven rail solutions

ERS Railways is the Hupac Group branch for maritime inland transportation based in Germany. Founded in 1994, ERS has 30 years of expertise in intermodal services for maritime containers.

 

Intermodal network

Our high-performance network for maritime container transport connects the seaports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Rotterdam with the most important economic centres in Germany. We move your containers – from the seaport by rail and onwards by road to the final destination. Fast, efficiently and eco-friendly.

 

With 30 years of experience in the field of intermodal services, we serve the terminals in Nuremberg, Munich, Augsburg, Regensburg, Ulm, Kornwestheim, Frankfurt and Mannheim as well as the border areas to the Czech Republic, Austria, France and Switzerland via combined transport.

 

Continental network of Hupac

In addition, ERS Railways offers the possibility of using the continental network of Hupac Intermodal for maritime volumes, allowing our customers to benefit from our full-service container handling on these routes as well. Furthermore, Hupac provides a pan-European network of container terminals that we can use.

Hupac saves 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 – our Green Deal contribution 2020

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 and as far as Russia and China.

 

Last year, Hupac Intermodal saved around 1.2 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.

 

The Green Deal strategy provides valuable impetus for this. The prerequisites for further significant growth in combined transport include:

  • the timely expansion of the European freight corridors to the parameters 740 m train length, profile P400, 2000 t train weight with one locomotive
  • guaranteed capacity for the targeted growth of freight traffic
  • technical and administrative harmonisation in the European area
  • fair framework conditions for road/rail competition.

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.
