1
CO2 Reduction Measures in Freight Sector in Japan
  • by
  • Shinji NAKAGAWA
  • Ministry of Transport
  • Japan

2
Trends outlooks of CO2 emissions (unit Mt-C)
3
Measures in transport sector
4
CO2 emissions from individual modes of transport
in Japan (FY1995)
5
Mode share in freight sector(in ton-km base)
6
Mode share in freight sector(in energy
consumption base)
7
CO2 emission units(g-C/ton-km)
8
Characteristics of freight transport in Japan
  • Large share of coastal shipping
  • Concentration of international container freight
    at 3 area (Tokyo, Ise and Osaka Bays)
  • Large number of private trucks ( 87 of 1
    million units)
  • shorter transport distance, lower load factor
  • Large number of small-sized trucking company
    (70 of 50,000 )

9
Basic concept in CO2 reduction from freight
transport
  • modal shift from trucks to rail and shipping
  • improvement of energy intensity in each mode of
    freight transport
  • improvement in technical efficiency
  • reduction of inland transport distance of
    international container freight
  • improvement of loading factor of each truck
  • increase the use of trailer and larger trucks

10
Promotion of modal shift
  • Increase the share of rail and shipping freight
    for medium-to-ling distance (longer than 500 km)
    general cargo transport from 40 to 50
  • support to upgrade facilities for major rail
    trunk lines
  • support to construct coastal container ships and
    roll-on/roll-off ships
  • construction of domestic trade terminal with
    sufficient freight yard and parking spaces for
    complex integral transport and access roads

11
Reduction of inland transport distance of int.
container freight
  • Only 10 of container freight produced and
    consumed in regional districts ( 40 of national
    total) is handled nearby ports long-distance
    transport by trucks from 3 major ports in Tokyo,
    Ise and Osaka
  • construction of 8
  • subsidiary gate-way ports
  • with high-standard
  • container terminals

12
Increase in truck load factor
  • Improvement of truck load factor from current 47
    to 50
  • switching to trucking company vehicles
  • privately owned trucks have low load factor,
    empty load in their return trip
  • joint delivery and joint transport
  • truck terminals
  • joint delivery centers
  • utilization of Intelligent
  • Transport System (ITS)

13
Increase the use of trailer and larger trucks
  • Increase loading of each truck
  • deregulation of gross vehicle weight
  • heavy duty trucks 20t ? 25t
  • semi-trailers 20t ? 28t
  • ISO-standard 40-ft or
  • 20-ft trailers
  • construction of chassis pools
  • upgrading of bridges and roads

14
Future actions
  • development of methods to monitor and quantify
    the progress of each measure
  • support for the improvement of infrastructure,
    especially to facilitate the use of
    state-of-the-art information system
  • consideration of other optional measures to
    achieve the current and future, possibly
    stricter, reduction targets
