A first vehicle unit is couplable a second vehicle unit, so that a vehicle combination is formed, wherein the first vehicle unit comprises a transceiver configured to establish a sidelink to a transceiver of the second vehicle unit. In one embodiment, the first vehicle unit is configured to perform an automatic coupling procedure for coupling itself to the second vehicle unit, wherein the sidelink is established prior to completion of the coupling procedure. In another embodiment, the sidelink adds redundancy to wired communication link between respective vehicle unit computers. In yet another embodiment, the transceivers of the vehicle units remain independently addressable even after the vehicle combination has been formed.
