Yamato creates new company to connect shippers and carriers

TOKYOMay 22 (News On Japan) – In an effort to create a sustainable logistics network, Japan’s largest parcel delivery company is launching a new initiative aimed at significantly improving loading efficiency for both shippers and carriers.

Shigeyuki Takano, president of SST, said: “We aim to provide an infrastructure service that makes it easier for us to change commercial practices.”

Yamato Transport has founded a new company that proposes a system for mixed freight transport, where multiple shippers use the same truck and pallets to transport goods. It also introduces a system for scheduled services of heavily loaded vehicles, such as double-trailer trucks, for long-distance transport.

This initiative aims to increase average loading efficiency from approximately 40% to 70%, driving efficiency and addressing chronic driver shortages.

According to Yamato, this effort will enable more than 30% automation by the end of fiscal year 2025.
