As the transportation industry is becoming more technology-driven, great efforts are being undertaken towards sustainability. Global passenger demand is on the rise both in mature and emerging markets, where the population is becoming increasingly affluent and mobile. In terms of cargo transportation, trade relations between China, North America, and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) are forecast to drive up traffic demand over the coming years. Bulk products are typically carried by railways, trucks, and ships. In the logistics industry, intermodal freight traffic is the most common choice to move consumer goods, as freight that is shipped in containers can easily be moved interchangeably by trucks, railroads, and containerships.
