Hupac is the preferred intermodal rail service provider for shippers across Europe, catering to both continental and maritime transport needs. We focus on transport corridors where we can achieve or improve a leading position.

 

Our continuous investments in terminals, digital solutions, and wagons provide us with a competitive edge in the market. Our relentless commitment to quality and productivity allows us to compete effectively with other transport modes. By expanding our business and promoting a modal shift from road to rail, we actively contribute to reducing carbon emissions – benefiting both our customers and society.

 

Safety is the top priority in our operations. We consistently enhance our safety performance through continuous improvement processes.


We are driving the digitisation and end-to-end automation of our value chain, delivering exceptional service quality and shipment visibility for our customers while increasing operational efficiency.

 

Rail traction is a cornerstone of our value chain. Through our strategic partnership with SBB Cargo International, we aim to enhance the competitiveness and robustness of our intermodal services on the transalpine corridor. In addition, Hupac is actively developing a strong network of rail traction and intermodal terminal partners across Europe. We also engage with public decision-makers to promote an integrated and high-performing European rail and intermodal offer.

 

As an international employer in the logistics sector, we are committed to attracting and retaining top talent. We embrace diversity in culture, language, gender, and educational background, fostering an inclusive and dynamic workplace.

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.
