| 摘要： | Multimodal fleets rely on a network of vehicles and transportation modes (such as trucks, trains, ships, and planes) that transport goods using multiple modes of transportation during a single journey. The term "multimodal" means using different forms of transportation to move cargo from its origin to its destination. A company with a multimodal fleet might have trucks for over-the-road transportation, ships for maritime transport, and airplanes for air cargo. For success, the multiple modes of transportation must be integrated seamlessly to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the overall logistics process. Multimodal transportation involves using specialized containers and equipment that can be easily transferred between different modes of transport without the need to unload and reload the cargo. For example, goods can be transported in standardized shipping containers, loaded onto trucks, then transferred to trains, ships, or planes, and finally delivered to their destination by another truck. These standardized containers can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, reducing the need for manual handling, and speeding up the logistics process. |
