Michail Stahlhut takes over as new CEO at Hupac Group

In good news for intermodal transport, Switzerland is to continue subsidies for transalpine networks until 2030, Hupac Group announced, following its General Assembly Meeting (which was held virtually). It said: “Today’s virtual General Assembly Meeting has strengthened the Board with the election of Bernhard Kunz and Erich Staake, while Michail Stahlhut takes over as new CEO.”

With the parliamentary decision to extend the promotion of combined transport through the Alps until 2030 and to significantly increase the amounts compared to the government’s request, Hupac said Switzerland is sending a clear signal in favour of modal shift. 

But it said the EU Mobility package, on the other hand, will weaken international combined transport in Europe. In the current Corona crisis, Hupac said it welcomes the measures planned by the Federal Office of Transport to maintain the intermodal transport networks. 

Despite COVID-19, Hupac said it is “looking ahead” with its new appointments. 

After his two-year introductory period as CEO of the subsidiary Hupac Intermodal, which operates the Hupac Group’s continental transports, Michail Stahlhut is very familiar with the business. “With this baton handover we are taking an important step for the future of our 50-year-old company”, said Chairman of the Board Hans-Jörg Bertschi.
