Land transport is the movement of goods overland, either by road freight vehicle or by rail wagon. It is the dominant mode in European goods traffic by volume, serving everything from last-mile distribution to long-distance cross-border corridors. Road offers door-to-door reach and unmatched operational flexibility; rail competes on cost and carbon efficiency for high-volume, long-haul flows. Mode selection hinges on shipment weight, volume, transit time requirements, and budget. Land transport should not be confused with combined or multimodal transport, where the overland leg forms only one segment of a broader intermodal chain.
