5 Hupac s business model Intermodal transport from terminal to terminal Local distribution provided by our customers Transhipment Our customers: transport and logistics companies Transhipment Local distribution provided by our customers Rail cars Railway traction provided by third party railway companies 5

6 Independence own assets as an advantage Rolling stock: 5,200 flat and pocket wagons 13 Lokomotives Workshops for maintenance and wheelset refurbishing Terminal operations: Busto Arsizio Antwerp Singen Aarau Basel Chiasso Piacenza Novara Lugano Information Technology: Goal, integrated software Cesar, customer information system Ediges, XML data exchange system 6

7 Key success factors / Barriers for success Quality Productivity Efficiency Rail Market Opening Tender Modern Rail Infrastructure Fair Co-modality 7

8 Rail market opening: Freight railway undertakings liberalization effects (situation 2015) FNC ITL R4C Veolia PCC EWS ECR Med-Trans ERS MAV TX DLC 8

9 Rail market Opening Railway must remain competitive Intermodal cluster Novara/Gallarate: places of work Combined traffic: Preservation of local trucking Ensure competitiveness of the railways: Simplification of homologation procedures? Safety certificates? Common maintenance criteria? Simplified customs procedures? Only one train driver? Constant increase of infrastructure and energy costs 9

10 Gotthard Base Tunnel 1/6/2016 Inauguration 11/12/2016 Entry into service Long term > Unique flat line through the Alps > European train parameters: length, weight, gauge > Modal shift / combined traffic without subsidies 11

12 A modern infrastructure instead of subsidies Gradual reduction of the operating subsidies granted by Switzerland for intermodal transalpine transport Subsidies p.a. in MCHF Which strategy? Increased productivity to compensate subsidies Longer and heavier trains (750 m, P400) > More payload 550 m 200 m Lower gradient = fewer locomotives > Lower production costs 13

13 Fair co-modality: Modes of Transport to Level the Playing Field Road Privately-owned companies Governance Rail Mostly state-owned railway companies Europe-wide harmonised transport system (drivers licence) Interoperability 100% free access Infrastructure Free access Predominance of national safety regulations on ECTS, maintenance, engine drivers licence Different criteria in every country Clearly focused on freight traffic Strategy Future?? Conflict between passenger and freight traffic EU s goal for rail: 30% in 2030, 50% in

14 Fair co-modality: Entry barriers for RUs: the benchmark is the road system Investments in rail freight traffic Purchase of traction mean (truck / locomotive) million Acquisition of multi-system locomotives Delivery terms 6 months 4-5 million months Countries covered by request for homologation 27 countries 1 country Costs for the 1st homologation 60, million Time frame for the 1st homologation < 6 months > 18 months Time frame for the 2nd homologation (cross acceptance) 0 < 18 months Costs for on-board signalling system mill. 15

High-volume goods 4-5% Infrastructure 4m semi-trailers (corner-height) Europe-wide standard: semitrailers with 4m corner height 30% Greatest shift potential! 750 m long overtracking tracks 20

20 Interventions to allow break even even on short/middle haul trains From 25 national safety agencies to 1 European Railway agency EU fixes time frame to introduce the agreed measures Pilot projects on EU freight corridors Redirect Marco Polo or similar funds into liberalisation steps Free access to shunting yards Fair discount system for energy costs Lower administrative barriers Fair und harmonised access fees Rule infrastructure more respectfull of market & operations Enormous cost-saving potential Define penalties or lower access fees for not complying contries Accelerate cross border agreement, cross acceptance, e.g.: ECTS Clear focus on liberalisation as main driving force Precondition for single wagon loads Balance of conditions for incumbents vs. new entrants NO to new customs code across CH Solve conflict passenger vs. cargo Different approach on costs generated by the infrastructure 21
