The “logistics bus”, a new long-distance transportation service that can be easily used like fixedroute buses, has already been operating at SENKO since April 2021, but this time, the “10-tonsubstitute land truck transportation” that uses the Oita-Shimizu route of Kawasaki Kinkai Kisen
Kaisha, Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yutaka Kuge) was added to the menu.
In addition to implementing a system to easily make reservations on the website, you can now
check on the reservation screen the amount of CO2 reduced and labor time saved by using thelogistics bus menu, which includes the “20-ton trailer chartering,” “joint space sales,” and the newservice we are offering this time, the “10-ton substitute land truck transportation.” For example, incomparison with marine transportation, the Kyushu-Kanto one-way land transportation trip is
estimated to reduce about 61% CO2 (compared to land transportation for a distance equivalent tothat between Oita Port and Shimizu Port) and save about 20 hours of labor time.
The 10-ton substitute land truck transportation works as a substitute transportation method for themain 10-ton trucks used for the truck transportation from Kyushu to the Kanto region as the cargo istransshipped to a 20-ton chassis to be transported by sea from Oita Port to Shimizu Port. This isdone in an effort to reduce long-distance trips of trucks in response to the 2024 issue*, achieve
decarbonization in the entire logistics industry, and save manpower.
In the future, we plan to expand the service menu of the reservation system to include KyushuKansai, Kanto/Kansai-Kyushu, Kanto-Kansai, and Kansai-Kanto routes in hopes of expanding ourtransportation areas and spreading this system to continue building and promoting the nextgeneration long-distance mainline transportation.
