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.

Intermodal network at society's service

Restrictions on production and commercial activities are being introduced throughout Europe, with ever greater speed and degree of restriction.

In Italy, the Government's decision of 22 March has further restricted economic activity, now limited to essential goods and services. Land transport and its supply chain are excluded from these restrictions. Therefore, our terminals in Italy and our intermodal rail network remain in operation without restrictions.

In all countries we can count on the support of rail infrastructure managers and railway undertakings. They do their best to keep trains running. Certain restrictions in certain countries, such as the closure of lines at certain times, cannot be excluded, but will be communicated in a good time.

Our terminals must operate safely and efficiently. We therefore ask our customers to collect their loading units in a promptly, and to distribute the flow to the terminals throughout the day thus reducing waiting times and the presence of people in the terminals.

Thanks to our employees in the terminals and in the home office we guarantee the availability of the goods we all need, from basic goods to raw materials for the production of essential products, from consumer healthcare products to supplies for hospitals.
