Intermodal Transportation

What Is Intermodal Transportation?

Intermodal transportation refers to the movement of goods using multiple modes of transportation—like trucks, trains, ships, or planes—without handling the cargo itself during transfers. This logistics strategy leverages standardized containers to streamline transitions between modes, ensuring efficiency and reducing handling risks. For beverage companies, intermodal transportation enables cost-effective and environmentally friendly distribution across long distances, maintaining product integrity while optimizing transit times. The definition of intermodal transportation highlights its importance in creating flexible, scalable supply chains, especially when transporting large volumes of drinks to diverse markets domestically and internationally.
