Intermodal Transportation
Intermodal transportation is a method of moving cargo that involves the use of multiple modes of transport, such as trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes, without handling the actual goods when changing modes. This system leverages the strengths of each transportation mode, providing a more efficient and cost-effective way to move goods over long distances. Intermodal transportation enhances flexibility, reduces transit times, and minimizes handling risks, making it a popular choice in global logistics.
