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.

Start of construction at the Brwinów terminal: Hupac invests on the East-West axis

Construction work for a new Hupac transhipment terminal has started in Brwinów near Warsaw. The project aims at enabling an efficient exchange of goods in central and eastern Europe, thus facilitating intermodal transport between China/Russia and Europe by rail.

 

The terminal project extends on an area of nearly 14 hectares. It comprises a storage yard of 42,000 m2, four transhipment tracks with a minimum length of 750 m, and administrative facilities. The containers will be operated by reachstackers.

 

In a second phase, three more transhipment tracks will be added, as well as high performance gantry cranes. The maximum capacity of the facility is limited to 180,000 intermodal units per year.

 

After the completion of the construction works, the terminal will offer rail/road transhipment of intermodal loading units as well as additional services such as storage, warehousing and last-mile trucking. Handover to operations is scheduled for Q3 2022.
