Role of the Container Transport Business in Rail Freight Transport There are two types of railroad-use containers for transporting the freight of our customers: the generic containers owned by the Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight), and the containers owned by private corporations such as ours. Even in regards to our privately owned containers, the JOT Container Transport Business provides rental and leasing systems for containers that are ideal for general freight and freight requiring temperature control.The rental system provides each freight forwarding company with various container options made available at freight terminals based on demand according to customer freight transport orders (companies return the containers at a freight terminal closest to the destination after delivery).The leasing system provides shippers and freight forwarding companies a way to freely use specialized containers (various wrapping is also available) throughout the term of a lease.Drawing on our many years of container transport experience, we have developed a number of different containers which meet a wide variety of demands, allowing us to provide the most suitable containers possible. Benefits of Rail Freight Transport (1) Highly efficient, low-cost transport of a large volume of freightA 26-car freight train can transport 130 standard-sized containers-equivalent to 650 tons of freight-using rail freight transport. The same volume of transport by road would require 65 ten-ton trucks. Rail freight transport enables large-volume transport with a minimal staff, which can offer larger transport cost reductions over longer distances in addition to helping alleviate concerns about the lack of long-distance truck drivers. (2) Railway network with coverage throughout JapanApproximately 140 freight terminals throughout Japan offering our containers provides rail transport coverage throughout Japan. Upwards of 500 freight trains per day transport freight to each corner of the nation. This amounts to a distance of 190,000 kilometers, or roughly five laps around the Earth. (3) Contribution to reduction of environmental impactRail freight transport produces about one-tenth of the CO2 emissions per ton of freight each kilometer compared to that of trucks, which makes it an eco-friendlier means of transport than the various other transportation methods. Rental Containers Active contributions to a modal shift achieve functional and efficient distribution through a variety of containers right for each application. The rental container system provides containers at a freight station nearest to the location for freight pickup, which can then be returned at a freight station closest to the destination. This creates a service that lets freight forwarding companies use the right number and type of containers only when necessary. Any customer (shipper) interested in transporting freight using our containers may contact the nearest JR Freight office or freight forwarding company.
