What is Combined Transport?
Combined transport is a method in which more than one mode of transportation is integrated and used in logistics processes. It offers both affordable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions by ensuring smooth transition between modes of transportation such as road, rail, sea and air.
This method provides high efficiency, especially in long-distance and large-volume transportation.
How is Combined Transport Carried Out?
The combined transport process is carried out by integrating different modes of transport. This process includes the following steps:
- Determining Modes of Transportation: Appropriate modes of transportation are selected according to the characteristics of the cargo and route requirements.
- Integration Planning: Transitions between modes of transport are coordinated.
- Loading and Transfer: The cargo is transported safely when transferring from one mode to another.
- Delivery at Destination: On-time and smooth delivery at the final destination is ensured.
