A first vehicle unit (10) is couplable a second vehicle unit (20), so that a vehicle combination (90) is formed, wherein the first vehicle unit comprises a transceiver (11) configured to establish a sidelink (S12) to a transceiver (21) of the second vehicle unit. In one embodiment, the first vehicle unit (10) is configured to perform an automatic coupling procedure for coupling itself to the second vehicle unit (20), wherein the sidelink (S12) is established prior to completion of the coupling procedure. In another embodiment, the sidelink (S12) adds redundancy to wired communication link (W12) between respective vehicle unit computers (12, 22). In yet another embodiment, the transceivers (11, 21) of the vehicle units (10, 20) remain independently addressable even after the vehicle combination (90) has been formed.
