The Hupac Group transported around 975,000 road shipments in combined road/rail transport in 2025. This allowed the intermodal network operator to increase its traffic volume by 4.3% compared to the previous year. Despite challenging conditions, the company was able to maintain its position in European combined transport, particularly on the Rhine-Alps TEN-T corridor.
Overall, Hupac moved approximately 1.85 million teu in continental and maritime hinterland traffic. The volume in transalpine transport through Switzerland grew by 4.5%, or 24,100 shipments. Additional volumes on the Belgium-Italy route contributed to this result.
However, this development occurred under demanding conditions. Construction sites, detours, and line closures strained the performance of the rail infrastructure. Particularly significant was the multi-week closure of the Rhine Valley route in June. Nevertheless, Hupac was able to transport additional volumes.
In the current year, the company also expects restrictions due to construction work. Planned closures in Germany and Italy will again impact traffic. Therefore, Hupac is working with rail partners on stable diversion concepts and investing in more resilient transport offerings. The goal remains to provide reliable solutions for European freight transport despite infrastructure issues.
