Aiming to achieve a modal shift that further enhances convenience and safety!

Report on the railway freight transport test between Osaka and Sapporo! Introducing temperature and humidity surveys during transportation.

From the perspective of the SDGs, many companies are undertaking decarbonization efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, which are said to be a cause of global warming. In the logistics industry, there is an increasing number of companies promoting modal shifts (the transition of transportation methods) from truck-based freight transport to more environmentally friendly modes such as rail and maritime transport. In this modal shift, the CO2 emissions from transporting 1 ton of cargo over 1 km are approximately one-sixth for ships and about one-eleventh for rail compared to trucks, indicating that switching to rail transport is particularly effective as a measure against environmental issues. This background has led to a growing demand for rail freight transport in recent years. The Railway Freight Association, established in 1950, is a public interest incorporated association under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet Office, engaged in various activities (research, studies, promotion, and awareness) to promote the use of rail freight. Each year, it conducts research and studies to enhance the convenience and safety of rail freight transport based on a set theme. This time, we will introduce a temperature and humidity survey conducted during transport between Osaka and Sapporo, in which our company is cooperating. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related links.
