Intermodal Freight Transport

Intermodal freight transport is a system where cargo is moved using multiple modes of transportation—like trucks, trains, and ships—without needing to change the actual shipping containers. For example, a container might be loaded onto a train for a long-distance journey and then transferred to a truck for final delivery. This method enhances efficiency and reduces costs, as it allows for seamless movement of goods across various transport networks while minimizing handling. By combining different transport modes, businesses can optimize routes and reduce environmental impact.
