Abstract: Through this paper we tried to establish the important role of intermodal transport, but also the role of co-modal transport, concept that was introduces in 2006 by the European Commission, regarding the sustainable development. Both concepts refer to the efficient use of at least two modes of transport, with the difference that the second one takes also in consideration the optimal and sustainable utilization of resources. We showed that in order to obtain sustainable development it is important to realize a diverse, multimodal transportation system. Within our study we tried to present the benefits obtained by using the intermodal transport due to the transfer of freight to modes that generate less external effects.
