Unlike a pure transshipment point, which simply transfers cargo between vehicles, a connector-type freight hub actively manages routing: inbound shipments from multiple origins are consolidated, sorted by destination, and fed into the network via cost-efficient lanes. These hubs form the operational backbone of multimodal freight networks, coordinating road, rail, air, and sea movements. Their bundling function allows even small consignments to move economically by sharing trunk hauls with freight from other shippers.
