2. The advantages of multi-modal transportation comprise e?ciency, economies of scale, reduced transportation costs, door-to-door delivery, reduced fuel consumption and reduced environmental pollution due to shifting of load from road to other transportation modes. However, there are also some challenges such as coordination among the di?erent transportation modes for seamless delivery, delay during modal shifts, di?erent rules and regulations applicable to diverse transportation modes, single or multiple service providers as points of contact and mismatch between the shipper expectations and experiences.
