The logistics sector is an indispensable part of global trade. The fast and safe transportation of products is critical to the success of businesses. As Vipsped, we stand out with our “intermodal transportation” solutions in our logistics services for Europe. So, what is intermodal transportation and why should it be preferred?
What is Intermodal Transportation?
Intermodal transportation is a logistics method in which a load is transported using different modes of transportation (land, sea, rail, air). Transferring the load in units such as containers or trailers between these modes of transportation speeds up transactions and reduces costs.
Advantages of Intermodal Transportation
1. Efficiency and Speed
Intermodal transportation saves time by using different modes of transportation in the most efficient way. For example, loads that reach the port by road transport can travel long distances by sea. In this way, both speed and cost advantages are achieved.
2. Environmentally Friendly
In today’s world where problems such as global warming and environmental pollution are increasing, intermodal transportation offers an environmentally friendly alternative. Rail and sea transportation, which reduce carbon footprints, minimize environmental impacts.
3. Security
Transferring loads between different modes of transportation allows each mode to benefit from its own safety advantages. Rail and sea transportation carry less accident risk than road transportation.
4. Cost Savings
Intermodal transportation reduces costs by using the most economical aspects of different modes of transportation. Sea and rail for long-distance transportation, and road transportation for short distances offer economical solutions.
