Hupac Group Intermodal Forum:  „Together against the “reversed modal-shift”! 🔝💪 ELP recently participated in the Hupac Group Intermodal Forum in Lugano, discussing "Transforming Intermodal Transport: Innovations for the Future of Logistics." The event was extremely informative, featuring great speakers and panels eager to reshape the future of rail freight. We emphasize the input from Peter Füglistaler, Director of the Swiss Federal Office of Transport: “We want to give rail freight the chance to become sustainably profitable. Switzerland has invested heavily in projects like the Lötschberg, Gotthard, and Ceneri base tunnels, the 4-metre corridor, and expanding terminal capacities. These initiatives position Switzerland as a role model for Europe in supporting the modal shift.” As a Swiss company, we strive to enhance the modal shift from road to rail and are proud to contribute to the “Swiss Benchmark.” Our locomotives support this transformation by offering up to 50% more tractive effort, enabling longer and heavier freight trains to operate more efficiently. 👏 European Loc Pool "Passion for Traction" #railways #freight #innovation #sustainability #cargo

As we look to the future, it is clear that the integration of interoperable digital solutions and collaborative innovation challenges will be pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of rail transport in European ports. By embracing technologies, rail can not only meet the current logistics demands but also adapt to future decarbonisation challenges in the global supply chain.

First full day at InnoTrans 2024 today. First up an interesting debate on enhancing productivity through digitalisation in rail freight transport. Then onto a full day of meetings with customers and suppliers. 💫 #InnoTrans2024 #DigitalRailway #RailFreight

which type coupler could this be?

European operators Lineas and Hupac Intermodal N.V. will launch multimodal #transportation between Zeebrugge and Milan in 2025. The project addresses growing demands for efficient logistics across #Europe. Rising demand for cross-border freight between #Belgium and #Italy necessitates innovative transportation solutions. Lineas will provide locomotive traction services along #railway sections, covering parts of #Germany and #France. Hupac Intermodal will handle multimodal #logistics, including terminal operations, ensuring seamless connectivity between Zeebrugge and Milan. This collaboration guarantees faster delivery and streamlined operations for businesses. Multimodal transportation reduces costs, accelerates shipping times, and minimizes environmental impact through reduced road congestion. Lineas and Hupac Intermodal’s joint expertise ensures effective and #sustainable logistics solutions. Since September 2024, the companies have successfully operated the Antwerp–Catalonia route, proving their ability to meet growing demand. This new route is an essential step for extending their network in Europe. By reducing pressure on road networks, multimodal transportation supports environmental protection and aligns with sustainability goals. This model promotes greener logistics while enhancing operational efficiency. Lineas has significantly improved customer satisfaction levels through innovation and quality enhancements. The satisfaction score increased from 2.9 in 2022 to 4.0 in 2024, showcasing consistent improvement. This project strengthens international collaboration, fosters economic growth, and connects key regions across Europe. Both companies plan to expand their routes, further boosting their presence in the logistics market. https://lnkd.in/eZjNC2rd

The first intermodal transport through the terminal in Świnoujście – a new era of logistics has become a reality!   History is being made before our eyes – the Ferry Terminal in Świnoujście has received its first intermodal train with trailers, and we, Galan Logistics, had the honor of being part of this groundbreaking event. This is not only a success for the logistics industry but also proof that modern solutions in logistics truly work.   💡 What does intermodal transport mean? For those unfamiliar: intermodal transport involves using different modes of transport – road, rail, and sea – without the need to reload the cargo itself. It is not only a significant logistical simplification but also a solution aligned with sustainable development and the EU’s CO₂ emission reduction goals.   How did it work in practice? ➡️ 8 trailers were delivered by road to Świnoujście. ➡️ Transshipment onto rail wagons and transportation to Silesia. ➡️ Unloading, reloading, and returning to Świnoujście. ➡️ Final stage: loading onto ferries and transporting to ports in Sweden and Denmark. The entire operation was the result of close collaboration between our teams and partners, including Freightliner PL. Each stage was meticulously planned and executed, and the results speak for themselves: a 76% reduction in CO₂ emissions and more efficient use of resources.   💬 As our CEO, Konrad Gałan, stated: “Intermodal transport is the future of the industry. It is not only a response to logistical challenges but also proof that ecology and efficiency can go hand in hand. Today, we demonstrated that Galan Logistics is ready to meet market expectations and set new standards in transport.”   Why is this important? Intermodal transport means fewer trucks on the road, less congestion, better living conditions for roadside communities, and significant environmental savings. It is also the future we are building together, combining innovation with everyday operations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our employees and partners for their commitment and professionalism. This is just the beginning – more intermodal transports are already in the pipeline.   Galan Logistics – Connecting Continents, Creating the Future!   #IntermodalTransport #GalanLogistics #Sustainability #Świnoujście #ModernLogistics

😎 #CombinedTransport offers ample capacities! 🎉 ---👨🎓 during its historic peak, in 2021, European Combined Transport carried over 1 million full #truckloads more 🚛 than in 2023! And capacities since then have been further developed thanks to 1️⃣ Continuous investments into the railway network 2️⃣ New transhipment terminals opening or existing terminals being further extended 3️⃣ Additional intermodal loading units - containers, swap-bodies, craneable and non-craneable semi-trailers - being added to the the fleet 4️⃣ A substantial net growth to the European intermodal wagon fleet. 5️⃣ Dynamic enhancements to the IT systems that support intermodal freight transport 6️⃣ Innovations in digitalisation, railway operations, transhipment and operational models.

🚅 Thailand’s High-Speed Rail Ambitions Thailand’s collaboration with Türkiye to develop high-speed rail manufacturing is a forward-thinking move. This partnership aims to strengthen domestic capabilities, paving the way for efficient, high-speed travel across Thailand. High-speed rail transforms economies and connects communities, and partnerships like this are the foundation of successful projects. Blackbox applauds these initiatives, setting benchmarks for regional collaboration. 📖 Read more: Thailand-Türkiye High-Speed Rail Partnership #HighSpeedRail #Thailand #RailCollaboration #Innovation #AsiaRail #Blackbox

The road to InnoTrans 2024… part 2. Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint 😉 ⏪ InnoTrans 2014 ⭐ Growing orders. A Desiro City train was on display for the announcement of our Thameslink train order in the UK. At €1.8bn, it was Siemens’ largest ever order in the UK and we would go on to deliver 1,140 rail carriages, which offered 50% more capacity. It included two world-class depots offering long-term service and maintenance with predictive maintenance and digital monitoring. ⏪ InnoTrans 2016 ⭐ Mireo: THE regional and commuter platform! The success of our Desiro led to the development of its little brother the Mireo. We called it ‘Intelligence on Rails’ at the time, and if I could go back, I would add ‘sustainability, and flexibility.’ The modular approach has gone on to be hugely popular and available in various formats and alternative drives to match local needs. Other highlights from the event included the Velaro for Turkey, and the C2 Metro for Munich. 🤝 The year after InnoTrans 2016 we acquired Hacon, signaling our move into software to fuel our digitalization growth further. #TransformMobilityForEveryone #TeamSiemens #InnoTrans2024
