Intermodal transport is a method of moving goods using more than one type of transportation, such as trucks, trains, ships, or planes. This approach allows for efficient and flexible shipping, as cargo can be easily transferred between different modes without needing to be repackaged. By combining various transport methods, intermodal transport can reduce costs and transit times while minimizing environmental impact. It is commonly used in global trade, where containers are transported across long distances, making it easier to connect different regions and markets.
