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.

Videomessage of Paola De Micheli, Italian Transport Minister

Paola De Micheli, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport: "Thanks to all truck drivers and logistics operators, we will guarantee your safety".

I would like to thank the truck drivers who are working and struggling so hard at the moment for all the problems around. I would like to thank all logistics operators. These are very complicated days.


We are working to build a system of procedures and ensure that you can work in maximum safety. In the next few hours, the companies you are working for will be in a position to guarantee this safety.


I want to thank you because if you do not continue with this dedication to work in this way, the country will come to a complete standstill, people could not have essential goods, we could not supply the hospitals. And so I believe that the minister of a city as affected as Piacenza has a duty to give you the testimony of the greatest gratitude.
