Intermodal Freight

Intermodal freight refers to the transportation of goods using multiple forms of transport, such as trucks, trains, ships, and planes, without handling the cargo itself when switching between modes. This system utilizes standardized containers that can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another. Intermodal freight improves efficiency and reduces costs by leveraging the strengths of each transportation method, allowing for longer distances to be covered seamlessly. It plays a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the movement of products from manufacturers to consumers across different regions and countries.
