(1) Shift to a mode of transport with low CO2 emissions per unit
Completely built units from the
Iwate Plant, a body manufacturer, used to be transported to
dealers in the Kanto region by trailer-truck. In an effort to
improve fuel efficiency and shift to a mode of transport with
low CO2 emissions per unit during transportation, Toyota began
to transport some of these vehicles by ship. By encouraging
truck drivers to "idle-stop" and implementing shipping management
with consideration to fuel efficiency, as well as thoroughly
cleaning the hulls of ships, fuel efficiency was improved. |

(2) Reduction of total transportation distance
Toyota reduced total transportation distance by improving containers bound for parts distributors, improving truck loading rates, reducing transportation dispatches by consolidating routes, reducing travel distance through reviews of travel routes, or through a combination of the above. |
