Marketing, Logistics and Repairs - Green Logistics

We have worked on a modal transportation shift to from trucks to railroad, which reduces CO₂ emissions to approximately one-eighth. However, actual rail freight transportation in fiscal 2007 was 16,106 five-ton containers, a decrease from the level in fiscal 2006. This was mainly because the products suitable for railroad transportation decreased. We were able to cut CO₂ emissions by 7,626 tons through transportation by railroad.
   With 30,000 railroad freight containers set as the fiscal 2011 target, we will work on initiatives in new product categories to achieve this goal.
