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.
