This type of transportation focuses
on the efficient use of different modes on their own and in combination.
Co-modality is defined by the Commission of the European
Communities (CEC, 2006) as the use of two or more modes of
transportation, but with two particular differences from multimodality:
(i) it is used by a group or consortium of shippers in the
chain, and (ii) transportation modes are used in a smarter way to
maximize the benefits of all modes, in terms of overall sustainability
