Intermodal transport as an integral part of logistics system
Journal Title: Production Engineering Archives - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The experience of companies that are successful in the carriage of goods prove that intermodal transport is now a major factor in determining the success of logistics system. A modern approach to the transport is based on intermodal transport. The article is based on the method of external observation. It presents the essence of intermodal transport and its benefits. It specifies transportation as an integral part of logistics system.
