How does Multi-Model Solution work?
A typical intermodal transportation solution involves the combination of road, air or ocean and rail. Rail is a common Multi-Model transportation mode and solution due to its reliability. Across parts of India, the rail network for cargo freight is extensive, allowing for a reduction of costs over long distances compared to road trucking, while remaining comparable for transit times.
Multimodal transportation refers to the movement of cargo from its origin to the final destination over multiple modes of transportation, performed under a single contract or Bill of Lading. Typical multimodal transportation solutions are ocean-air and air-road combinations. The key difference in Multimodal transport is that cargo may be handled during the transfer from one transport mode to another.
