7. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 1】What is transportation（什么是运输？） Every firm requires the movement of goods from the point to another point. Transportation refers to the physical movement of goods from a point of origin to a point of consumption. It can involve raw materials being brought into the production process or finished goods being shipped to the customer.

8. Transportation is one of the most significant areas of logistics management. Railway, road, waterway, air, and pipeline transportation make up the major modes of transport in modern society. Each mode has its own requirements and features. In the following paragraphs we look at some of the different characteristics of each transport mode.

9. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 2】Railway Transportation（铁路运输） Rail offers cost-effective transport of large quantities of cargos over long distance. It is especially good for cargoes with high volume and low value, such as coal, timber and grain.

10. Over the past years rail usage has declined as road transport has taken over short haul business and water transport has taken bulk commodities freight. Rail transport is one of the most energy efficient modes of land transport. Environmental and safe consideration also favor rail over road transport.

11. Text 1 Transportation Mode However, the major disadvantages of railway are the inherent inflexibility of operation, fixed time schedules and service from terminal to terminal.

12. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 3】Road Transportation（公路运输） Road transport is widely used in inland delivery of goods. This mode tends to be used for higher-value and lower-volume cargo over relatively short distance. It is capable of providing a door to door service.

13. It has not any break in the journey to change from one vehicle to another. So it can be flexible enough to perform “just-in-time” delivery. Any work place in the country can be serviced by road.

14. Text 1 Transportation Mode The advantages of road transport are flexibility of both location and time and speed of delivery. With the development of road transport, new types of problem, such as a significant growth of fuel consumption, air pollution, traffic congestion and road accidents have emerged.

15. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 4】 Waterway Transportation（水路运输） Waterway transportation includes maritime and river transportation. As the oldest mode of transport, waterway has developed considerably over the last decades. Waterway is utilized for large loads of low-value-per-unit goods. The carriers are specialized for internal river, canal transport, and international deep-sea ships.

16. Text 1 Transportation Mode It is the cheapest method of moving goods world wide. The main advantage of shipping industry lies in moving the vast quantities of cargo in one ship. The main disadvantage is the speed of the ship which is very slowly.

17. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 5】Air Transportation（航空运输） Air transport has been increased tremendously and plays a more important role in global logistics than ever before. Air transport accounts for the smallest proportion of cargo transportation. Its growth rate in recent years is the highest among the modes of transport.

18. It offers rapid and flexible delivery. The major advantage of air freight is the speed of travel. The longer the distance of the flight, the greater the time saving of the customer. Air transport is primarily used for:

19. Text 1 Transportation Mode • Emergency transport of the critical items • Speedy transport of high-value, low-weight products • Speedy transport of perishable items

20. Text 1 Transportation Mode 【Para 6】Pipeline Transportation（管道运输） The basic nature of pipeline is unique in comparison to all other modes of transport. Pipelines operate on a twenty-four-hour basis, seven days per week. Pipeline routes are practically unlimited. Pipelines are usually used to transit natural gas, petroleum and coal.

21. Text 1 Transportation Mode Notes 1．Transportation refers to the physical movement of goods from a point of origin to a point of consumption.

22. Text 1 Transportation Mode 2．Over the past years rail usage has declined as road transport has taken over short haul business and water transport has taken bulk commodities freight. 近些年来，随着公路主要从事短途业务及水路主要从事大批量的散货运输，铁路的业务量逐年呈下降趋势。
