Intermodal Transport

Transport & Modalities

Intermodal Transport

Intermodal transport also uses multiple modes, but each leg is contracted separately. For example, rail and truck carriers are booked independently, though containers stay sealed.

Why It Matters

Intermodal often reduces cost compared to road-only transport, especially on long distances. However, it requires more coordination from procurement teams, as multiple contracts and providers must be managed.
