Abstract
Since the 1990s, international supply chains have experienced tremendous progress owing to changes in the division of labor and the globalization of the economy. In order to enjoy the benefits of free trade, intermodal freight transport system is advocated and introduced to provide efficient just-in-time door-to-door long-distance services in a more environmental-friendly manner. This paper aims to build a research framework on intermodal transport in the context of city logistics. The paper tries to clarify the relationship of intermodal transport and city logistics through a comparative discussion of the intermodal transport share, intermodal and city logistics policies, and governmental initiatives in the European Union (EU), the United States and the Asian region.
