As an efficient transportation mode, international multimodal transportation will play a significant role in implementing “The Belt and Road” initiative (B&R initiative), which may improve transport efficiency and reduce logistics costs, promote energy-saving and emission-reduction, and accelerate transformation and upgrading of the transportation industry. In constructing the B&R, international multimodal transport is a practical way of “road Unicom,” and a powerful support for “trade flow.” Countries differ around the B&R initiative, and it needs the cooperation of government and enterprises, but the role of international multimodal transportation has not received the attention of relevant countries. Therefore, to promote the role of international multimodal transportation, it is necessary to strengthen coordination between different management departments, highlight the role of multimodal transportation enterprise, emphasize new enterprises, promote coordinated laws and policies, and summarize and share advanced experience. This paper analyzes the significance developing multimodal transportation under B&R initiative, then illustrates why it creates opportunities to develop multimodal transport, and finally makes suggestions for developing the multimodal transport under the B&R initiative.
