Abstract: Railways, waterways, highways, and aviation are the four most conventional modes of cargo transportation. There are competitions and complements among each mode in the entire social logistics process. With the improvement of China's economic scale and the upgrading of high-quality development model, the logistics industry is reflecting new development characteristics. The gradual development of multimodal transport will affect the development of different transport modes. This paper summarizes the development status of China's logistics industry, transportation infrastructure and freight equipment. From the perspective of cost, efficiency, flexibility and dependence on infrastructure, the characteristics of the four modes of transportation are compared and analyzed. Considering the relevant policies issued by China in recent years to guide industrial transformation and upgrading, it was identified that the current logistics structure of China, in which road freight is the absolute main force, is gradually changing during the process of industrial efficiency promotion. Also, based on the demand for truck products in the development of multimodal transport, the potential impact on road trucks is analyzed.
