What is intermodal logistics?

Intermodal logistics refers to the coordinated movement of goods using multiple modes of transportation—such as trucks, trains, ships, or planes—without handling the freight itself when changing modes. This approach optimizes shipping efficiency, reduces costs, and minimizes environmental impact by leveraging the strengths of each transportation method. Intermodal logistics is essential in global supply chains, as it enables faster, more reliable, and flexible delivery of goods across long distances.
