Multimodal transport
Multimodal transport – Seamless logistics solutions with NTS
The term multimodal transport describes the combined use of different means of transport such as lorry, rail, ship and aircraft within a uniform logistics chain. The aim is to organise the flow of goods in an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. By linking different modes of transport, interface problems are minimised, delivery times are shortened and flexible solutions for complex supply chain processes are created.
What characterises multimodal transport?
Multimodal transport is characterised by the seamless integration of all transport routes. A single contract assumes responsibility for the entire transport process – from the point of departure to the final destination. This approach offers numerous advantages:
– Increased efficiency: by optimally utilising the respective strengths of each means of transport, routes can be shortened and resources conserved.
– Cost savings: The combination of different modes of transport enables the use of economical routes and thus reduces overall costs.
– Sustainability: An optimised logistics chain reduces CO₂ emissions as more environmentally friendly means of transport can be integrated.
– Flexibility: Companies can react quickly to changes in the supply chain and choose alternative routes.
