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.

Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate
Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate

The Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate combines the strength of a solid structure for the road-rail transhipment with the advantage of a strategic position. It is located in one of the major European economic areas, 20 km from Milan and 150 km from the port of Genoa. Its railway position is optimal thanks to the connections both to the north, via Luino, Domodossola and Chiasso, and to the rest of Italy. It is accessible directly via motorway and allows road vehicles to arrive easily to the trains and to move quickly on to their final destination.

 

The terminal was projected and realized according to the most state-of-the-art planning technologies, in order to combine efficient and quick work with safety and environmental protection. Every day dozens of trains connect the terminal with destinations in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Poland, and perform a relevant hub function within the European intermodal network.

 

UIC code of the rail connection point: 83 01030 6
