Modal Shift

To reduce environmental impacts on logistics, Special Equipment & Printer Operations implement a modal shift to deliver dedicated terminals to particular customers in remote locations.
When products manufactured in plants are transported to the Hokkaido or Kyushu Districts, trunk transportation from plants to regional distribution points is switched from trucks to car ferries to reduce CO2 emissions.
CO2 emissions in the Kyushu (Nagasaki and Oita) District are reduced by 67%.
