The Intermodal business division at EPLI is centred on the integration of road and rail transport, emerging as our most rapidly growing sector. This new initiative for EPLI has significant growth potential, due to the advantages of rail transport: a lower environmental impact and heightened reliability. It entails moving goods in transportation units, for example, ISO containers of varying sizes like dry, reefer, and tank containers, swap bodies, and semitrailers, by employing different modes of transport without managing the goods inside. Often, the most efficient and economical approach is to transport these units by train, and then shift them to trucks for the final leg of delivery, known as ‘last mile delivery’, to the customer.
