Intermodal transportation

Intermodal transportation refers to the use of two or more different modes of transport to move goods from one place to another. For example, a shipment might start on a truck, then be transferred to a train, and finally delivered by another truck to its destination. This approach improves efficiency by utilizing the strengths of each transport method—such as cost, speed, and capacity—while reducing overall transit times and environmental impact. It’s a critical component of global trade, allowing for seamless movement of products across various regions and improving supply chain flexibility.
