2. Different Modes of Transportation
Several methods are used to transport vehicles, with the choice often depending on factors like distance, cost, and the type of vehicle:
-
Road Transport: Most common for short to medium distances. The vehicles can be driven, or more commonly, transported on specialized car carrier trailers.
-
Sea Transport: For intercontinental shipments. Vehicles are either driven onto RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) ships or placed in containers.
-
Air Transport: Though expensive, this is the fastest way and is often reserved for luxury, high-value, or racing cars.
