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.

New connection Antwerp HTA <=> Novara CIM

Hupac is diversifying its network Belgium <=> Italy by launching a new connection between Antwerp HTA and Novara CIM. The terminal offers gateway connections to Pescara/Manoppello and Bari with profile C70/P400, as well as to Rome/Pomezia with limited profile only for containers and swaps.

 

As of 25/26 April, the traffic between north-west Italy and Antwerp HTA will be served by the following shuttle trains:

  • 3 roundtrips/week Antwerp HTA <=> Novara CIM
  • 12 roundtrips/week Antwerp HTA <=> Busto Arsizio

 

The Terminal Novara CIM is managed by Combiconnect, a Hupac Group company. In the coming years, the capacity and performance of the plant will be massively increased by an extensive upgrading programme.
