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.

Start of construction at the Brwinów terminal: Hupac invests on the East-West axis

Construction work for a new Hupac transhipment terminal has started in Brwinów near Warsaw. The project aims at enabling an efficient exchange of goods in central and eastern Europe, thus facilitating intermodal transport between China/Russia and Europe by rail.

 

The terminal project extends on an area of nearly 14 hectares. It comprises a storage yard of 42,000 m2, four transhipment tracks with a minimum length of 750 m, and administrative facilities. The containers will be operated by reachstackers.

 

In a second phase, three more transhipment tracks will be added, as well as high performance gantry cranes. The maximum capacity of the facility is limited to 180,000 intermodal units per year.

 

After the completion of the construction works, the terminal will offer rail/road transhipment of intermodal loading units as well as additional services such as storage, warehousing and last-mile trucking. Handover to operations is scheduled for Q3 2022.
