  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
