Combined transport

Definition

Combined transport, in the context of the supply chain, refers to a multimodal transportation concept that involves the use of multiple modes of transport to move goods from the point of origin to the final destination. It combines different modes such as road, rail, air, and sea to optimize the transportation process, taking advantage of each mode's strengths and overcoming their limitations. This approach allows for efficient and seamless movement of goods, providing flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and reduced environmental impact.
