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.

Successful ECM certification

In October 2013 Hupac has obtained the ECM certification for the maintenance of freight wagons according to the EU regulation 445/2011. The certificate is valid for five years and covers all aspects of the fleet management, which thus meets high demands with regard to quality and safety.

 

On the basis of the EU regulation 445/2011, published in May 2011, all freight wagon holders are obliged to establish an entity for the maintenance of freight wagons (ECM) and to submit it to mandatory certification no later than 31 May 2013.

 

As a pioneer, Hupac has already been certified as an ECM in 2010 in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding of Brussels, 2009.

 

In September 2013, the quality and the environmental management of Hupac were recertified according to ISO 9001 and 14001. The certificates are valid for three years and include all operating companies of the Hupac Group.
