Measures to Reduce the Environmental Impact of Distribution

Toyota Industries has actively promoted activities to reduce the environmental impact associated with its logistic operation. The environmental impact associated with logistic operation includes depletion of natural resources, global warming, and air pollution caused by fuel consumption and exhaust gas. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the logistic operation.
The Company established the Distribution Center in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture in FY2001. The distribution system has been changed to one in which parts procured from different suppliers are collected at the Distribution Center and are then trucked to the appropriate plants. As a result, the number of transport trucks used for procurement has been reduced from 16 to 9.
