(1) Global environmental issues have been serious.

IPCC the 4th Evaluation Report  November 12, 2007, Spain

A United Nation organization, founded in 1988 More than 2,500 scientists More than 1,000 points observed

An increase of 0.74ºC over 100 years. If no measures are implemented, in 2100, the temperature may increase by +4to 6.4 ºC.

Rise of global average temperature

Eleven years in recent 12 years are the warmest years since 1850.

The temperature rise over 100 years from 1906 to 2005 was 0.74°C. This temperature is higher than 0.6°C reported in TAR. The temperature rise is greater in high-altitude areas in the north hemisphere, and the warming is more significant in the continental area than in sea area.

Source: AR4 SYR SPM

The temperature rise for a decade over the recent 50 years (1956 to 2005) is 0.13°C, which is twice of the rise over the past 100years (1906 to 2005).

<Sea level rise forecast result (appendix)>The following processes are not included in the sea level rise forecast result.- Carbon circulation feedback- Ice sheet flow process *

Considering these processes, the sea level rise may increase.                                              Source: AR4 SPM

* The surface of the ice sheet is melt down due to warming, thereby forming lakes. The water of the lakes sinks down the cracks in the glacier and penetrates into the area between the ground surface and ice sheet. As a result, the water functions as lubrication oil, and thus the ice above the ground slides.

(1) Eco-drive (safety) activities

Advantage of cost reductionFuel efficiency: increasing 10 to 20%Traffic accident: decreasing 20 to 40%

Company R16% increase in fuel   efficiency27% decrease in accident

Case 1 (a) Eco-driving operation criteria 1. Start Idling stop campaign (during waiting, loading and unloading goods, and resting).

Introducing a digital tachometer, and setting the maximum idling time by vehicle to reduce the idling time in order (e.g., less than 30 min.) 10-minute idling for a 10-ton truck means a reduction of approx. \22,000 a year.

(3) Green logistics activities – cases in Japan

2. Never idle the engine with high revolution (wasting approx.15-cc fuel per an idling).3. Avoid quick start and acceleration (wasting approx.15% fuel compared to normal driving).4. Clean air cleaner upon monthly maintenance (once or more/month).5. Drive with economical speed (80 km in highway, which is the speed of highest fuel

efficiency), and drive with constant speed.Engine revolution: 1500 during running and less than 2000 is recommended.

6. Avoid abrupt steering and sudden braking (slowly steer and stop)7. Keep higher tire air pressure by 10% (Air pressure decreases by 5% a month)8. Use proper exhaust brake (incl. retarder)9. Before the traffic light, release the accelerator earlier, and coast with engine brake

10. Shorten warm-up time (1 minute in March through November, and 3 minutes in December through February)

15

7. Increase loading efficiency (80% or more by means of route integration or reviewing  the number of trucks

(b) Decreasing vehicle weight and setting the targetof loading efficiency, and other criteria

 

For Driving Control Supervisor

16

1. In summer, do not carry chains for winter on board. (16 kg for a 4-ton vehicle, and    26kg for a 10-ton vehicle)2. Only carry necessary tools on board. 3. Consider whether spare fuel tank is needed. (200 liters, the spare fuel tank is not   needed for short or middle distance route.)

4. Use a short-cabin truck . (increasing load, 10-ton truck + 2.2 m3)5. Consider using air suspension truck (10-ton truck + 1.1 m3)/low floor truck, and   large tonnage truck.6. Use eco-tires (increasing fuel efficiency by about 3%)

By introducing (a) and (b) realizesVehicle insurance discount by 50% or less

⇒ The discount is expected to be 70%(saving \38,000,000 a year)

 All 16 drivers at Tosu (Kyushu) Center of San-ai Logistics Co., Ltd. achieved an average evaluation score of 95 points in July in the ranking of safety driving that utilizes digitaltachograph control. Digital tachograph control is an evaluation in which 16 parameters including maximum and average speeds, idling time, abrupt start and sudden deceleration are scored.  Ranks A and B drivers coexisted by 2003 and drivers’ skill varied. After 2004, monthly driver training was made through video and lectures on energy saving. Thank to the efforts to increase safety driving awareness, drivers achieved high scores. We will further address safety and energy-saving driving.

*1 What is digital tachograph?A system that can collect the data of driving conditions such as over-speeding, number of abrupt start and sudden braking, and idling time for each driver, thus enabling to be used for safety and energy-saving driving evaluation.

Monthly driver training has been held. The responsibility of traffic problems are given to the entire company regardless whether they are accidents or misses. Reoccurrence prevention meeting is always held, and causes and measures are discussed by all members.

Energy-saving driving decreases CO2 and increases safety.

 Mr. Ishida, a driver in BCG Logistics Section of Production Logistics Department, was received “Safety Collaborative Patrol Card” from Shizuoka Trucking Association.

Safety Collaborative Patrol is an activity that is conducted by Japan Trucking Association with Japan Long Haul Trucking Association for the purpose of the highway traffic safety. Driving on Tomei Expressway, he was found by the patrol as a driver observing the legal speed and driving safely. Observing the legal speed, all drivers of this company ensure the safety.

Since trucks are owned by each operator in Thailand, in many cases, trucks run without goods.

The cost reduction will be great if the number of commercial trucks are increased and collaborative loading is made.

Empty truck (return)  36% (64% with goods)Distance empty trucks run   700 km (2 trucks)

Macro physical distribution cost (USA)· Macro physical distribution cost has substantially increased against GDP. · It is because of the increase in inventory cost by the increased stock amount and the rise in

interest rates.· Moreover, the lack of drivers and increased delivery cost due to the rising cost of fuel have

aggravated the situation.
