Abstract: Learning Objectives Transport services and logistics services are an integral part of logistics systems. This chapter aims to give an overview of the existing means of transport, the modes of transport and their services, the role that logistics service providers take, and the development they have undergone. In this way, we will equip the reader with a basic understanding of the concepts and service products within the transport and logistics service economy in order to utilize them for the various forms of co-operation.
