Technical support for vehicles

Coding

To access intermodal transport, vehicles must be certified for rail transport. On behalf of the customer, Hupac codifies  vehicles, ensuring compatibility between vehicles and wagons on the desired traffic route.

 

ILU-Code

Since 2011, a single identification system for intermodal loading units has been in place. Containers, swap bodies and semi-trailers must have an ILU or BIC code to be accepted in unaccompanied combined transport in Europe.

 

The European ILU code is defined in standard EN 13044. It is used to identify non-ILU containers, swap bodies and semi-trailers in combined transport in Europe. The BIC code is a similar identifier defined in ISO 6346, which is primarily intended to identify ISO containers.

 

The ILU code can be requested via www.ilu-code.eu. Our technical service is available for further clarification.

 

Investments in vehicles

If the customer plans to build specific vehicles for combined transport, our technical support service is available to provide technical advice and coordination with the manufacturer.

Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate: solutions for traffic management in the Malpensa airport area

From 27 July to 26 October the Milano Linate ariport will be closed for important infrastructure works. This will involve the transfer of air and  passenger traffic to the Milano Malpensa airport. A strong increase in road traffic on the highway SS336  is expected. This will have important repercussions in the area of Busto Arsizio-Gallarate.

Quick pick-ups - even at night
To limit the impact on the access viability to the terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate, we suggest to privilege the pick-up operations in the following time slots:

  • night slot, between 20:00 and 05:30 - also taking advantage of the economic benefits offered by the bonus-malus system
  • morning slot, between 09:00 and 11:00
  • afternoon slot, between 14:30 and 16:30.


This helps to relieve traffic congestion and keep waiting times stable.

Terminal entry/exit portals
Hupac also helps to speed up traffic. We are installing a system for the automatic collection of data on vehicles entering and leaving the Busto Arsizio-Gallarate terminal using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology.  This simplifies processes and ensures faster loading/unloading times for the units.

The attached instruction explains the new process for drivers.
