Hupac expects strong demand for P4 transport
In 2020, Swiss intermodal operator Hupac transported 1,014,686 road consignments or 1,913,000 teu, representing a slight decrease of 0.9% compared to 2019.
The main influencing factors were the slump in maritime traffic from overseas and the economic lockdown in Europe as a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic in H1/2020. Traffic demand recovered in the second half of 2020, so that, by the end of the year, the 2019 level was reached.
In 2021, for the first time, Hupac's entire transalpine network is able to transport large-volume 4 m semitrailers.
"We expect strong demand in this segment. With our transport offer, we are making a concrete contribution to Switzerland's modal shift policy and to the implementation of the European green deal strategy," says CEO Michail Stahlhut. (ben)
