The area of logistics involves transporting completed vehicles and vehicle parts throughout Japan and overseas. In FY2002, Toyota's transport volume in Japan was approximately 3.1 billion ton-kilometers (ton times kilometers). Toyota is taking action with regard to environmental responses in the area of logistics from the following two perspectives: (1) Enhanced environmental management; and (2) Steady implementation of measures toward achieving reduction targets.
 
The Production Environment Logistics Subcommittee established in April 2001 is engaged in activities to lower CO2 emissions and reduce the usage of packaging and wrapping materials. Improvements have been made enabling the setting of reduction targets and collection of data, not only for overall transport volumes but also for CO2 emissions per unit, which until now was difficult due to the varied shapes and diverse nature of items to be transported.
Mieruka2 (visualization) has so far been promoted mainly in Japan. However, Toyota is now considering a more comprehensive approach by expanding its application to include overseas affiliates.
