Collection and Delivery System Improvements
Improving our transport system is another way in which we are pushing forward our initiatives to reduce the impact on the environment.
Joint Collection, Delivery and Operation
In urban areas, where transport is largely done by trucks, distribution has been causing major problems such as air pollution from CO2, NOx, PMs and other emissions, and traffic congestion. Many of these problems are seen to have resulted from higher frequency of collections and deliveries due to smaller lots, lack of cargo processing facilities and increased streetside parking for pickups and deliveries.
To address this situation, we are advancing joint collection and delivery to cut exhaust emissions and to mitigate traffic congestion as well as to increase inner- and inter-city distribution efficiency by more effective use of truck carrying capacity. This involves creating joint distribution centers to integrate the collection and delivery of multiple distribution companies, and such efforts are underway nationwide.
