Although changes in freight transport volume and transport modes resulting from economic conditions affect fuel consumption intensity and CO2<\/sub> emission intensity, we are implementing five measures to reduce both fuel consumption intensity and CO2<\/sub> emission intensity: (1) increasing the modal shift rate, (2) improving transport efficiency, (3) introducing digital tachographs linked to GPS and dashcams, (4) fitting fuel-efficient tires and reducing idling, and (5) promoting container round use.
As part of efforts to prevent air pollution, we are implementing three measures: eco-driving and displays indicating our commitment to eco-driving (eco-driving decals), avoiding the use of vehicles that do not satisfy the requirements of the Automotive NOx and PM Act, and proactively using low-pollution, fuel-efficient vehicles.
Also, given the increasing severity of the truck driver shortage in the logistics industry, we embrace and are working to promote the White Logistics movement that aims to realize more sustainable logistics. We are working to improve loading and unloading, streamline transport\u2014for example shifting from long-distance trucking to roll-on\/roll-off ship*2<\/sup> and railway transport and joint transport with competitors\u2014and promote other efforts to improve productivity and create better working environments for women and older truck drivers.
We believe these initiatives also contribute to reducing environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Modal shift: Changing the mode of transport to mass transport modes such as railways or ships in an effort to streamline transport while also saving energy and reducing environmental impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Roll-on\/roll-off ship: A ship that transports loaded trucks and flatbeds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

- t-km: In transport, a t-km (ton-kilometer) is a unit of work that expresses the volume of freight transport in which the weight of transported freight in tons is multiplied by the distance the freight is transported in kilometers. As such, it is an accurate measure of transport as an economic activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
