CO2e and energy savings

In 2024, the traffic operated by Hupac Intermodal generated 129,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions. According to the Ecotransit system, this represents a saving of 89% or 1.1 million tonnes of CO2e compared to pure road transport. The estimated value for the total transport of the Hupac Group is 1.3 million tonnes of CO2e emissions.

 

Energy consumption is also an important and not insignificant figure for measuring the climate impact of combined transport. Compared to road transport, the Hupac Intermodal network saved 11.2 billion megajoules in 2024. This is a reduction of 74% compared to road transport.

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.

KV4.0 Data Hub goes live with partners

New website www.dx-intermodal.com provides information on range of services

Frankfurt am Main, 19. April 2023   Following the successful go-live of the KV4.0 Data Hub in March, the first partners have started to exchange production data to improve transparency in the supply chain. The new Data Hub connects all players in combined transport for the first time.

 

DXI customers, which include carriers, intermodal operators, terminals and railways, began exchanging real-time data via the KV4.0 Data Hub in March. The Data Hub is based on the #EDIGES data exchange standard and provides access to timetables, bookings, terminal status and train movements, as well as pre- and post-carriage on the road. Data exchange is real-time and barrier-free, but always within an authorised distribution circle. The one-time technical connection to the KV4.0 Data Hub also enables the exchange of forecast data with participating partners, such as Estimated Time of Pick-up (ETP), to improve supply chain visibility. Interested parties can find detailed information on the company's range of services on the new website www.dx-intermodal.com.

 

DXI is the name of the new company for the use of the KV4.0 Data Hub, which for the first time connects all players in combined transport in terms of data technology. The shareholders are the combined transport operators Hupac and Kombiverkehr, the transport companies Hoyer and Paneuropa, the railway company Lokomotion and the Kombiterminal Ludwigshafen. The company founded at the end of June 2022, emerged from the research project "Digitalisation of intermodal supply chains – KV4.0", which created a cross-system data platform for combined transport.
