Domestic Rail Freight Transportation
Domestic Rail Freight Transportation
Environmentally Friendly, Reliable High-Volume Transportation
By combining the JR Freight network with our own pickup and delivery operations, we provide seamless door-to-door transportation from collection through delivery.
We help address transportation challenges, including the shift to rail freight and driver shortages.
Characteristics of domestic rail transport
-
Balance between cost and speed
It offers lower costs than air transport and maintains a stable transport speed even over long distances. It optimizes transport costs as an "intermediate mode" suitable for trunk line transport of large lots. -
CO2 emissions are approximately 1/11th of those of a truck.
Rail freight transport has the lowest CO2 emissions of all transport modes. It can transport the equivalent of 65 large trucks at once, simultaneously reducing environmental impact through modal shift and addressing the driver shortage. -
On-time performance and stable lead time
Planned transportation based on railway schedules ensures stable lead times unaffected by road congestion. It is also suitable for JIT (Just-In-Time) transportation linked to production plans.
