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.

New container depot at Singen Terminal

Container depots are an essential part of the logistics chain, they enable the sustainable and efficient delivery and distribution of containers.

 

The Terminal Singen is investing in the expansion of its full-service offer with new support functions for maritime traffic. The depot with an area of 11,000 m2 is located directly on the terminal site. Its capacity of 1700 TEUs provides sufficient space for the storage of empty and loaded units.

 

In addition to the pure depot function, Terminal Singen TSG GmbH as operator of the facility offers numerous other services. These include container inspection, daily stock reports, SOLAS weighing and minor repairing works on containers. Combined with daily connections to Duisburg, Busto Arsizio, Brescia and Hamburg, Singen is thus an important and functional hub for intermodal transport.

 

Founded in 1996, Terminal Singen TSG GmbH operates the Terminal Singen as a joint venture between Hupac and DB Intermodal Services. Around 60 trains a week run through this hub.
