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.

Lockdown in Italy: Our intermodal system works without limitations

As of today, Italy is subdivided in three zones with different grades of lockdown rules. However, industrial production as well as freight transport is permitted on the whole national territory. Staff just needs a self-declaration that indicates the reason for traveling or staying outdoor - all details here.

 

Similar restrictions are in place in many European countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain.

Intermodal transport has already proven resilience and ability to perform during the COVID-19 first wave.

Today,  we are happy to inform you that:

  • our trains run regularly
  • our terminals work regularly and observe strict hygienic anti-contagion measures
  • our office staff works safely at home or in a protected office environment.
