Initiatives to Promote Rail Freight Transportation
The JUKI Group promotes rail freight transportation as part of its efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions associated with product transportation. Since rail freight transportation generates approximately one-tenth the CO₂ emissions of truck transportation (according to the Japan Freight Railway Association), it offers a significantly lower environmental impact. Recognizing these environmental benefits, the JUKI Group introduced rail freight transportation in 2005.
In recognition of these efforts, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism certified JUKI as an “Eco Rail Mark Participating Company” in February 2009. The Eco Rail Mark is a labeling program established by the Ministry to encourage environmentally friendly logistics practices and reduce the environmental impact of logistics.
The certification was awarded based on JUKI’s achievements in promoting rail freight transportation. At the time, more than 41% of the Group’s domestic inland transportation of export containers, primarily for industrial sewing machines and SMT equipment, was carried out by rail.
