Means of transport are all types of means of conveyance used to transport goods or people from one location to another. Which means of transport is selected for a goods transport depends on the requirements of the goods and the length of the route. Examples in logistics are truck/train for land transports, vessels for sea transports or airplanes for air transports.
Means of traffic and means of transport are different terms that cannot be used synonymously. Means of traffic are all devices that cover distances by changing location, even if no goods or other persons besides the driver are transported. Means of transport, in contrast, are exclusively vehicles that, apart from a driver, also include the transport of goods or passengers.
