Hikyaku JR Container Express

Service Overview

Service features

Hikyaku JR Container Express enables customers to choose environmentally friendly rail transportation.
Available for rent in units of one container. (Also available for frozen and chilled goods)
In addition to conventional rail container transportation, which uses rail containers to transport cargo from pick-up locations to delivery destinations, we can also use regular trucks to transship cargo to containers in locations where containers cannot enter, such as buildings and narrow streets. With more than 120 freight stations nationwide, we deliver your goods to your destination using the most appropriate mode of transportation.

By shifting the main transportation from trucks to rail, CO2 emissions can be reduced by about 90%.

  • CO2 emissions for station-to-station transport compared to commercial trucks

Sagawa Express's sustainability activities, such as efforts to reduce environmental impact, are introduced in "Sustainability - Aiming to Realize a Carbon-free Society".
