The government has decided to allow introduction of “road trains” on select routes and between identified points to encourge multi-container transport on the road in its bid to reduce logistics cost. This mode of transporting freight is popular in countries including Australia, US and Europe to move huge volumes of cargo. Road trains consist of a conventional prime mover truck pulling two or more trailers. One road train in India can replace atleast three trucks and is expected to prove beneficial for freight movement.
