Next year will be the starting point for the use of longer trains in Hupac’s transalpine routes. A standard train length of 690 metres via Luino in Italy and 625 metres via Chiasso in Switzerland will be the company’s benchmark for 2022. The development comes in response to the reduction of subsidies by the Swiss government. “Only with the longest and heaviest trains we will be able to absorb the upcoming marked decrease in funding. Εvery metre counts”, said Michail Stahlhut, CEO of Hupac Group.
