Modal Shifts (Train Transportation)
Developing container train transportation services to realize long-distance, integrated bulk transport
By transporting using container trains, we contribute to alleviating long-distance truck driver shortages and reducing CO2 emissions. Owning 31-foot containers, each of which has almost the same capacity as a 10-ton truck, enables us to switch smoothly from truck transportation. This is also effective in dispersing and double-tracking logistics.
-
POINT1
We own 31-foot containers, each of which has almost the same capacity as a 10-ton truck. This facilitates the smooth switch of transportation from large-size trucks.
-
POINT2
Using dispersing and double-tracking transport methods, we can maintain supply chains even in the event of a natural disaster. This also acts as a measure against the risk of delay.

Transportation services using 31-foot containers
A 31-foot container has almost the same capacity as a 10-ton truck, enabling smooth switching from truck transportation. We own 31-foot containers that we operate mainly between Osaka and Tokyo. We are also capable of transporting cargo over a wider area, such as between Sendai and Osaka and between Himeji and Sapporo.

Measures for transportation delay risk and BCP measures
Rail transport is less likely to be embroiled in traffic problems such as traffic jams, so it is possible to operate it on schedule. Knowing precisely the arrival time of cargo helps to give clients peace of mind. In recent years, more and more companies have been adding container train transportation to their transport methods as an effective BCP* measure.
