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.

Gotthard: limitations only for few days

Starting from Sunday evening, freight traffic is expected to start again on the Gotthard line. In the meantime the Hupac trains are diverted via the Lötschberg/Simplon axis. Only the domestic connections Basel <=> Chiasso and Aarau <=> Stabio can’t be operational at present.

                   

The authorities concerned have taken all measures in order to support rail freight traffic at best:

  • Infrastructure managers in Germany, Switzerland and Italy work together closely in order to offer the maximum capacity for international freight traffic despite the Gotthard line interruption
  • Planned track works on the Simplon axis have been postponed
  • Capacities in Domodossola II shunting station have been increased by putting additional locomotives into operation and by reinforcing shunting teams
  • International railway companies join their forces with the aim to reach the highest possible capacity
  • Customs offices in Domodossola II will take up 24-hour service if needed.   

Delays may occur up to the complete processing of the residual trains, but starting from Monday 19.11.2012 the situation is expected to turn back to normality within few days.

 

Our customer team is at disposal round the clock for further information.
