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.

Switzerland-Italy collaboration: after the Ceneri comes the Simplon

Hupac thanks its partners in Italy

After completion of the construction works on the Ceneri Base Tunnel, a new initiative is immediately launched to make the Rotterdam-Genoa freight corridor even more efficient.


In September 2020, an agreement was signed between Switzerland and Italy for a series of works on the Lötschberg-Simplon axis, in which Italy undertakes to carry out works on the line to allow, by 2028, the uninterrupted transit of 4-metre profile semitrailers to the large transhipment terminals in the north of the country.


Hupac thanks its Italian partners - in particular the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, RFI and the entire FS Group, as well as trade associations and railway companies - for their great commitment and valuable support in the timely implementation of the upgrading works along the Rotterdam-Genoa corridor.
