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.

 

CO2e certification for customers

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.

WOLF for terminals: Chiasso in pole position

THOS, the new terminal process management system based on WOLF, has been launched today. The first to use the new system are the colleagues of the Terminal Chiasso, who carry out all the works with the new software. 

 

The THOS Terminal Hupac Operating System supports employees in the various phases of terminal work:

 

Departure

  • unit delivery to terminal
  • train loading preparation
  • loading closure
  • printing of the waybill
  • train closure
  • train departure.

 

Arrival

  • train arrival
  • availability and unloading of trains
  • unit collection by the customer.

 

The use of WOLF for terminal management is part of the digital renewal process of the Hupac Group. The new system, developed in-house by the IT department in Chiasso, will be gradually extended to all terminals of the Group. 

 

The main innovations

  • access via web from all devices
  • user-friendly design
  • train loading with drag & drop mode
  • display of the composition with wagons and units.
