Modal shift policy

One of Hupac's main objectives is the growth of combined transport in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In 2023, Hupac Intermodal transported 538,000 road consignments or 10.4 million net tonnes in transalpine traffic through Switzerland. In total, the Hupac Group moved 975,000 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.

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.
