Description
This book provides an introduction to the whole concept of intermodal freight transport, the means of delivering goods using two or more
transport modes, recounting both European experience and UK developments and reporting on the extensive political influences on this
form of transport. This is placed into context with reference to developments in North America and Asia.
Detailed explanations are given
of the road and rail vehicles, the loading units and the transfer equipment used in such operations. In particular, the role of the Channel
Tunnel in the development of long-haul combined transport operations between the UK and Europe is considered.
Audience
Transport operators, managers, planners, students and academics of logistics and transport
