Environment & climate

Commitment to climate and environmental responsibility

 

As a pioneer in intermodal transport, Hupac actively contributes to reducing environmental impacts by shifting freights from road to rail. This modal shift is one of the most effective ways to lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the logistics sector.

 

In addition, we work to reduce noise emissions, optimise the use of resources such as water and chemicals and promote biodiversity. Minimising waste and ensuring the safe transport of goods are also central to our environmental responsibility.

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.
