Hupac’s New Combiconnect Terminal in Barcelona Welcomes First Train

The newly established Combiconnect terminal in La Llagosta, located 20 kilometers north of Barcelona, has successfully received its first test train from Antwerp. This marks a significant milestone for Hupac, a leading intermodal transport company.

The terminal is designed to enhance intermodal transport capabilities in the region, facilitating efficient connections between road and rail networks. Hupac aims to improve logistics and reduce transit times for freight transport across Europe.

Managed by Hupac, the Combiconnect terminal features state-of-the-art facilities that support the loading and unloading of containers. The terminal’s strategic location is expected to serve as a crucial hub for intermodal transport, connecting various European markets.

The first test train’s arrival is part of the terminal’s operational testing phase, which will continue to ensure that all systems function optimally before full-scale operations commence. Hupac plans to officially open the terminal for regular services in the coming months.

In addition to improving transport efficiency, the Combiconnect terminal is expected to contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting the use of rail transport over road transport, thereby reducing carbon emissions associated with freight logistics.

Hupac’s investment in the Combiconnect terminal aligns with its broader strategy to expand its intermodal network and enhance service offerings across Europe. The company continues to focus on developing infrastructure that meets the growing demand for sustainable and efficient freight transport solutions.
