Society

We actively support the transport policy goal of shifting heavy goods traffic from road to rail.

Modal shift policy

One of Hupac's main objectives is the growth of combined transport in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In 2024, Hupac Intermodal transported 536,000 road consignments or 10.4 million net tonnes in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In total, the Hupac Group moved 950,000 road consignments.

 

Institutions

We maintain a constructive and transparent relationship with Swiss and European institutions. Our many years of experience are valued and in demand, for example for the further development of transport policy framework conditions. We are a member of numerous trade associations and working groups that are dedicated to promoting our industry.

 

Local communities

Hupac is committed to the development of local communities by supporting projects and associations.

Strike in France hinders the introduction of a new intermodal link

The strike in France is making rail transport on European corridors through France very difficult. While train traffic on the Antwerp-Barcelona and Busto-Barcelona connections is severely reduced, we are unfortunately forced to postpone the launch of the new Perpignan-Köln link. The first departure was scheduled for 13 January 2020.


The project aims to transfer a large part of the traffic between the south of France and Germany to rail, with gateway connections to Scandinavia. Despite a long and accurate preparation period, we are only now receiving information from SNCF Reseau that, in connection with the strike, the train paths for the 5 weekly departures per hour cannot be confirmed.


It is Hupac's intention to offer a stable and high-performance service to European intermodal transport customers. The introduction of the service Perpignan-Cologne will therefore be postponed until March 2020.
