Depuis l’édition de la STI (Spécification Technique d'Interopérabilité) "OPE" en 2006, le matériel moteur Européen doit être immatriculé avec un code de 12 caractères suivent des règles semblables a celles des wagons et des voitures voyageurs. Cela rend le matériel moteur clairement identifiable, de façon univoque, et suit les règles de la fiche UIC 438-3..

Les premiers et deuxièmes nombres sont le code "type" Les troisièmes et quatrièmes le code du pays immatriculateur. Du cinquième au onzième, le code est définit par le pays immatriculateur. Le douzième est l’autocontrôle.

Il est suivi des abréviations correspondant au pays d'origine et du propriétaire du véhicule.

Code "type"

Le premier nombre est toujours "9"

Si le second chiffre décrit le type de matériel roulant le code suivant est obligatoire :

90	Divers (Materiel non classifié par ailleurs (par exemple, locomotive à vapeur)
91	Locomotive Electrique
92	locomotive Diesel
93	Électrique Unité Multiple (grande vitesse)
94	Électrique Unité Multiple (pas à grande vitesse)
95	Diesel Unité Multiple
96	Matériel dédié
97	Électrique Manoeuvre
98	Diesel Manoeuvre
99	vehicule Special

Germany

A register of tractive units has been introduced by the Federal Railway Office (Eisenbahnbundesamt, EBA), which also issues vehicle numbers. Digits 5–8 are a four-digit class number, 9–11 the three-digit serial number of the vehicle within its class.

For class numbers for vehicles in the existing Deutsche Bahn fleet, DB selected digits 5–8 so that the previous number could continue to be used without affecting the check digit: changing the check digit was needed only for combustion-engined railcars. For new DB vehicles, such as the Alstom Class 1214 introduced in 2008, this is not valid. Although they are internally counted as Class 262, they have been given a number corresponding to the class used by the manufacturer.

As a result of the requirement to be entered into the register, vehicles and classes were included that had never been part of the DB. These were allocated to new classes by the EBA, no longer based around DB historical classification. This has caused misunderstandings, because the classes are now generally made up of four-digit numbers (digits 5–8) that no longer indicate the type of vehicle, now shown by the type code (digits 1–2).

Example:

From the last three digits, class "0128" could appear to be an electric locomotive. However the full number includes the type code "98", so it is a diesel shunter. The three-digit numbers "3xy" or "2xy" previously used by DB are not part of the new numbers. They are obsolete, found only in the numbers of former state railway vehicles.

Vehicles that are used both by DB and private railways are allocated to the same class – the difference is recognisable from the owner's abbreviation. One advantage of the system is its simplicity, because when vehicles change ownership they retain the same number: only the abbreviation of the owner's name needs to be changed. For a major rebuild the number can be changed to that of an appropriate class.

See also List of classes in the German Railway Vehicle Register

The method of applying and spacing the digits differs between operators. For example a British Rail Class 66 loco registered in Britain has been seen to carry the number: GB 9 2 70 0 066246-4, with the existing national number "66246" underlined, and lacking the operator identifying code. Frequently the commonly used national part of the number is underlined in order to make it more readily identifiable.

Check digit

The check digit is calculated from digits 1–11. It is derived from the sum of the numbers that arise when the digits are alternately multiplied by 2 and 1; the difference of this sum from the next multiple of ten produces the check digit (for examples of this see wagon numbers).

Owner's code

For every railway that enters its tractive units into the register, a clear European-wide code is needed, separate from the number. This alphanumerical Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM) is allocated by a railway administration in accordance with CR OPE TSI. The list of owner's codes is linked below.

Example

Example of a UIC vehicle number

Meaning of 97 80 8194 052-7 D-LEG
97	Type, here electric locomotive, top speed up to 100 km/h
80	Country, here Germany
8194	Federal Railway Office type, here DRB Class E 94
052	Serial
7	Check digit
D-LEG	Owner, here Leipziger Eisenbahngesellschaft.

Older identification systems

Example in Poland - train at Warszawa Śródmieście, shows on foreground UIC markings however missing first four numbers (country and type because of local usage) – (94 51) 2 140 003-6, with additional national class number – ER75-006.

In the past, each railway adopted its own identification system. Each locomotive was given a road number or running number which would sometimes be combined with a class number. For example British Rail diesel and electric locomotives had five-digit numbers of which the first two digits were the class number and the remaining digits were the running number, e.g. 37 409.
