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.

Hupac Conference at Transport Logistic online- Thursday, 6 May


Intermodal transport has proven to be a resilient, sustainable solution for logistics - especially during the ongoing pandemic. The perspective for the coming years is dynamic growth: intermodal transport is expected to substantially contribute to decarbonisation under the European Green Deal. 

 

The Hupac network moves over a million road consignments per year and offers clear benefits:

  • connected - all main destinations in Europe and up to Russia/China
  • smart - own assets and digital tools for intermodal chain visibility   
  • emission-free - future-oriented and committed to the EU Green Deal.
