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.

Hupac launches a new connection China-Poland

Hupac continues its close cooperation with the Xian City Platform. After a first successful train between Xian and Milan (Busto Arsizio) in 2019, we are now connecting the emerging Xian business region in Western China with Warsaw in Poland. Thanks to our footprint in Poland, we are able to offer a complete network with multiple ongoing connections that cover all major industry destinations in Europe.

 

The train has departed from International Port Area of Xian with 48 loading units containing mainly consumer goods. After a journey of 13 days via Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus, the train arrived at Warsaw terminal on 18 April. The goods are destined to various markets: mainly Poland, but also Germany and Spain.

 

With this initiative, Hupac strengthens its position in the growing market of rail freight transportation between China and Europe. The new service Xian-Poland will run with weekly departures in both directions. The next departure is foreseen at the end of April/beginning of May, in respect of the re-opening of the main factories in Europe.
