Intermodal transport, the use of different means of transport in the supply chain, is becoming increasingly important in the global commercial environment. This article presents an economic analysis of intermodal transport and examines the advantages of using different modes of transport within the supply chain. The focus is on cost savings, flexibility, reliability, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reduction of transit times and improvement of operational efficiency.
