Collaboration with external organizations
Super Full Trailer 25
In order to realize efficient trunk transportation between major cities, we engage in joint trunk transportation with other logistics companies using the "Super Full Trailer 25" (SF25, a detachable trailer with a length of 25m). Since thiベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスnitiative was certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under the revised Logistics Comprehensive Efficiency Act in 2019, we are now able to utilize the subsidy scheme for improving efficiency.
Joint transportation using the SF25 was achieved in cooperation with the Tokyo route truck conference association (Japanese only) and its member companies. The Association aims to achieve logistics that enable harmonious coexistence of the diverse interests of society, including the global environment, and improve daily life; and is working to reduce GHG emissions through transportation. Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. supports these objectives, and participateベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn green logistics and other initiatives as a member. In operating the SF25, we joined other memberベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn supporting the relaxation of the Special Vehicle Traffic Permit Standard (relaxing the restriction on vehicle length from 21m to 25m), and participated in the demonstrative driving experiment to this end. Subsequently, in FY 2018, MLIT revised the Special Vehicle Traffic Permit Standard, enabling us to commence joint transportation using the SF25. The SF25 can carry the same load as two heavy truckベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn a single unit, which is expected to offer higher transportation efficiency and reduce GHG emissions.
Development of Energy Management Centered Around Cartridge Batteries
In promoting each measure aimed at reducing GHG emissions, creating balance between EV operation and charging is an issue in the logisticベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスndustry. Since EV operation and charging both occur during daylight hours, it is vital to create a mechanism for balance between operation and charging. Additionally, there are concerns over issueベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスncluding supply shortages due to a sudden increase in demand for electricity generated via renewable energy sources and insufficient capacity in the necessary systematic power transmission. As a countermeasure, Yamato Transport and Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation (CJPT) are progressing with studies to standardize and commercialize removable and portable cartridge batteries with the aim of developing energy management centered around cartridge batteries. Furthermore, we aim for the early establishment of EV operation methods, such as development and demonstration of energy systemベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn Gunma Prefecture, which is a project subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development agency in Japan.
For details on demonstrations, please refer to Examples of Initiatives for Mitigating Climate Change.
Supplier and Partner Engagement
As a logistics business, Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. cooperates with suppliers and partnerベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn the use of low-carbon technology in transportation, low-carbon technology demonstration experiments, and other measures (for details, please refer to Introduction of low-carbon technologies and enhancement of operational efficiency). We are making improvementベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn our identification of the GHG emissions from subcontracted parts of transportation in cooperation with our partners. In fiscal 2021, we added a function for entering data necessary for calculating GHG emissions to the app to enable the sharing of information and we are beginning to track emissions. To share our understanding of what the Yamato Group’ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスdeal supply chain is, we have formulated the Yamato Group Business Partner Guidelines. We plan to promote communication with major suppliers (for details, please refer to Supply Chain Management for related policies).
Collaborate with society to improve environmental resilience
Adapting to climate change
Yamaベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスransport Co., Ltd. has prepared Guidance on Natural Disasters as the severity of natural disasters (typhoons, heavy rains, heavy snowfall, etc.) has been increasing. We are strengthening countermeasures to enhance resilience. We have a code of conduct to guide behavior in different weather conditions and periods of time leading up ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスhe occurrence of a natural disaster. Under the code of conduct, we inform customers of any impact on services and provide safety and detour information to employees and partners. If there are concerns that a natural disaster will seriously impact an area, we will set up disaster response headquarters headed by the president. Relevant departments will cooperate with each other to share the information necessary for the restoration of services and the provision of support and promptly take action to ensure business continuity. Following the restoration of services, we cooperate with local governments and others ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスransport relief supplies and support disaster-stricken areas. We continually assess flood risk and regularly conduct disaster drills at business sites nationwide. We are improving our skills every year to flexibly and promptly acting to prevent packages, vehicles, and equipment from being affected by disasters and ensuring business continuity using transportable routes to deliver goods according ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスhe situation.
ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスackle rising temperatures, we are taking adaptation measures, for instance with initiatives that include the introduction of coolers suitable for work at hub base and sales offices and the adoption of employee uniforms made of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying fabric. Going forward, with these initiatives, we will further aim to be a resilient logistics company which is part of the social infrastructure.
Provide environmentally friendly products ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスervices
The Yamato Group is expanding its range of products ベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスervices that have a low environmental impact and offer environmental value.
Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. offerベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスndividual member services for Kuroneko Members . If an individual is registered as a member, they are able to specify a delivery date and time slot and a destination. We are expanding the infrastructure for PUDO Station which is an open-type courier delivery locker that can be used to send and receive packages. In 2020, we started to provide EAZY, a new delivery service for e-commerce. It enables the user to receive packages without face-to-face interactions. For example, the user can ask us to leave packageベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn front of their entrance door. We developed a multi-digital key platform and started to provide services using the platform in March 2022. The platform has enabled us to provide unattended delivery to EAZY customers living in condominiums that have automatic locks. We provide services that realize convenience for customers, while reducing redeliveries and thereby cutting GHG emissions.
In order to contribute to the sound growth of the small-lot refrigerated delivery market, we have promoted the development of international standards for these serviceベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn coordination with the British Standardベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスnstitution (BSI). As a result of these efforts, the BSI published the PAS 1018: 2017 standard in 2017. Looking ahead, we will continue working to create a sound market and expand opportunities for the provision of these services.
We are advancing development of services aimed at visualizing the GHG emissions of corporate clients. We are currently developing a GHG emissions visualization tool based on ISO 1403:2023*1, an international standard for calculating GHG emissions generated during transport published on March 20, 2023. This standard calculates GHG emissions from not only trucks but various methods of transportation, such as air and marine, and terminals. We are developing a visualization tool that can be utilized on a global scale and enables calculation of GHG emissions from the transportation of Yamaベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスransport that fall under Scope 3*2 for our corporate clientベラ ジョン カジノ 入金 不要 ボーナスn a more realistic manner.
*1 Standard for calculation of GHG emissions generated during transport, covering all logistics companies (road, rail, air, marine, water, etc.)
