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.

Calculate your CO2 savings – with just a few clicks

From now on, road hauliers will be able to calculate the CO2 savings they achieve by using Hupac's intermodal trains. With just a few clicks, the exact amount of CO2 avoided for the environment and the comparison with the emissions of all-road transport can be determined on the basis of the selected period and connections. Another couple of clicks and a personalized, immediately printable certificate documents the customer's eco-friendly choice.

 

The calculation of CO2 emissions is carried out by the EcoTransIT system, which allows to quantify the environmental impact of the various vectors on the basis of objective criteria. This is possible thanks to an intelligent input methodology, large amounts of geographical data and an elaborate basis of computation. The system performs an immediate comparison with road transportation and produces a certificate that can be directly downloaded and printed in PDF.

 

The service is accessible via WOLF, Hupac's new integrated platform that brings together all information and tools our customers need to manage their transports quickly and easily.
