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.

Empowering intermodal south-east network: new shuttle train Geleen <=> Vienna

Hupac launches a new shuttle train linking RTC Geleen in the Netherlands with Wels CT and WienCont in Austria. “Another step that extends our intermodal network and responds to the increasing demand of intermodal connections from/to south-east Europe”, says Renzo Capanni, director Shuttle Net South East Europe.

 

Initially, the service runs with two roundtrips per week. Customers can count on competitive transit times at A/B level and seamless ongoing connections to Hungary (Budapest Chapel), Turkey (Halkali), Romania (Ploiesti) and Bulgaria (Stara Zagora).

 

“A single consignment traveling on the 1000 km distance between Geleen and Vienna will reduce CO2emissions by 1.4 tons on average”, underlines Capanni. “A valuable contribution to the European climate target in the Year of Rail”.
