Intermodal transports combine different modes of transport – such as road, rail and sea – into one continuous supply chain. The cargo remains in the same loading unit, for example a container or trailer, while only the mode of transport changes. The goal is to efficiently combine the strengths of each system.

In practice, challenges often arise at the interfaces: different responsibilities, lack of transparency or unclear coordination between parties. AMA Freight takes over the holistic planning and management of these transports. We coordinate transitions, monitor transit times and keep costs as well as emissions under control. The result is an integrated, controlled end-to-end solution with clear responsibility.

A key advantage of intermodal logistics lies in its environmental impact. The targeted shift from road to rail or inland waterway demonstrably reduces CO₂ emissions.

For companies with defined sustainability targets or ESG requirements, combined transport becomes a powerful lever. Upon request, we record and document transport-related emissions and provide transparent CO₂ data for internal evaluations or external reporting.
