Book your own train

The Company Shuttle unit of Hupac Intermodal serves customers who charter their own trains and secure capacity at an attractive price. Each company shuttle runs exclusively for up to three partners who take on the full loading commitment. Your advantages:

  • customised schedules meeting your specific needs
  • cost effective with fully automated standard procedures
  • procurement power of a strong partner.

We make your challenge a success 

Trains are our job. We provide our know-how to ensure that your trains are an instant success. From purchasing railway services and operational control of the day-to-day business to taking action in case of disturbances and wagon management – we act as an interface to the railways and free you up to focus on your core business.

 

Tailor-made to satisfy highest expectations

Each train is individually arranged to meet the customer’s needs. Based on the required route, schedule and frequency, we evaluate the needed components and define the required service level. For example, the package may comprise:

  • wagon rental and fleet management
  • terminal services
  • train monitoring and operational control 24/7
  • backup wagons or compositions
  • further added value services such as positioning of empty equipment, in-plant services, etc.

Integrated order management

Orders are processed efficiently. We install a customised order-to-billing system for each train with effective IT integration between the customer’s ERP software and Hupac’s operating system.

 

When do you run your first company train?

A company shuttle offers guaranteed loading capacity at an attractive price. In addition, your own intermodal train is a strong statement for climate-friendly, efficient transport solutions – a clear competitive advantage in the logistics market.

Team
Modal shift will come to a halt without the Luino line.

Position paper

In brief

 

The Luino line is the main route for unaccompanied combined transport (UCT) through Switzerland and a key element in the Rotterdam-Genoa freight transport corridor. So it is all the more astounding that international infrastructure development is increasingly ignoring it.

 

The strategic development of combined transport must consider various factors: the suitability of the railway lines to carry freight, the track capacity and quality, as well as the available terminal capacity. In the ongoing coordination process between Switzerland and Italy, a number of important aspects seem to have been disregarded.

 

The focus on the Chiasso line that can be seen among influential governmental and railway circles today is limiting the development prospects of the existing UCT system and pushing the intended benefits of the NEATinto the far distance. This is devaluing the investments already made in combined transport and calling modal shift policy into question.

 

Both are needed:

  • moderate expansion of the Bellinzona-Luino-Novara line for existing traffic in the first phase
  • and the establishment of a freight transport corridor via Chiasso-Seregno-Bergamo for future traffic in the second phase.
