Inland transport for last mile delivery Inland transport plays a crucial role in the logistics and supply chain management of any economy. It involves the movement of goods and materials within a country, typically by road, rail, or inland waterways, and is essential for connecting different regions, supporting commerce, and facilitating trade. Modes of Inland Transport: 1. Road Transport: Road transport is the most flexible and widely used mode for inland transport. It offers door-to-door service, making it ideal for short to medium distances. Trucks and vans can navigate various terrains and access remote areas, ensuring goods reach their final destinations efficiently. 2. Rail Transport: Rail transport is highly effective for moving large quantities of goods over long distances. It is known for its reliability and cost-effectiveness, particularly for heavy and bulky cargo. Railways can significantly reduce congestion on roads and lower the carbon footprint of transportation activities. 3. Inland Waterways: Inland waterways, including rivers and canals, provide an eco-friendly and economical transport option. Barges and vessels can carry substantial loads, reducing the strain on road and rail networks. This mode is particularly advantageous for transporting bulk commodities like coal, grain, and construction materials.
