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 Shuttle Net: new products and services from 1.1.2025

Hupac starts the new year with new connections and improved services, designed to make intermodal operations even more efficient and sustainable.

Gent <=> Piadena

Hupac will activate a new shuttle train between the industrial areas of Gent in Belgium and Piadena, located south-east of Milan. The connection will start with a frequency of 3 roundtrips per week – more to be expected after the initial phase.

Zeebrugge CLdN <=> Piacenza

We are increasing the frequency of our intermodal connection from 3 to 4 roundtrips per week, strengthening the stability and transit time of the service. Good to know: the new Piacenza infrastructure will be operational early next year.

Busto Arsizio <=> Padova

A positive development also for this short distance shuttle train in north Italy, which enables efficient connections between northeast and northwest Italy and offers synergies with the entire Hupac network. The frequency will be brought from 4 to 6 roundtrips per week from 1.1.2025.


Malmö <=> Köln Nord

The new transhipment facility in Germany is the Köln Nord terminal. Thanks to this change, our customers enjoy a higher frequency of gateway connections to the south and therefore a better network stability.

 

Our Sales & Operations teams are available for tailored advice and solutions. Together, we’ll keep logistics on track!
