Hupac reports resilient 2025 performance despite challenges

Hupac has posted a solid result for the 2025 financial year, achieving a profit of CHF 3.5 million (€3.79 million) despite persistent disruption across Europe’s rail network.

Transport volumes rose by 4.3%, with transalpine traffic through Switzerland increasing 4.5%, supported in part by new flows on the Belgium–Italy corridor.

The group handled 975,000 road consignments (1.85 million TEUs), while revenue grew 3.1% to CHF 646 million, held back by exchange rate pressures. Extensive construction works and temporary line closures continued to impact reliability, yet Hupac maintained an EBIT margin of 1.9% through targeted stabilisation measures.

Strategic initiatives such as the RadicalShift2Rail high‑frequency shuttle concept are already improving punctuality and resilience. Additional market share was secured through strengthened services including Duisburg–Novara and Basel–Busto Arsizio.

Hupac emphasises that political support remains essential, welcoming Switzerland’s decision to extend operating subsidies for transalpine combined transport beyond 2030.
