原标题：Toyota to Launch Pickup Logistics in Tokai Region丰田将在东京地区推出皮卡物流
Toyota City, Japan, Dec 20, 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - - Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) will begin the transition from conventional "delivery logistics," where parts are delivered by suppliers, to "pickup logistics" implemented through arrangements made by Toyota, in order to build a new efficient transport system. Pursuing overall optimization through integration of parts suppliers and distribution companies, the new system aims to reduce work burdens on truck drivers in response to the decrease in drivers available and the need to mitigate environmental impact. In the Tokai region, operation will start as of September 2020.
The estimated(1) decline of 26 percent in the number of logistics truck drivers by 2030, in comparison with 2015, will result in a severe nationwide shortage. The government has called for reductions in CO2 emissions by 26 percent by 2030, in comparison with 2013 levels, due to concerns over environmental impact(2)--responding to these social issues is an urgent matter. Since 2019, the government and businesses have been working together on the White Logistics Movement with the goal of creating work environments that are more amenable to drivers. Toyota is also participating as a supporting business.
Since 2016, Toyota has undertaken partial "pickup logistics" in the Kyushu region and since 2018 in the Tohoku region, and improvement measures have been carried out in both regions through cooperation with the relevant parts suppliers and distribution companies. The results are improved working environments for drivers, with an increase of approximately 12 percent in transport efficiency(3) and a reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 6 percent.
With the launch of pickup logistics in the Tokai region, successful measures from the Kyushu and Tohoku regions will be implemented on a larger scale.
Examples of specific measures are described below.
Development of cargo loading and unloading areas has resulted in reduced driver burdens and enhanced safety during loading and unloading operations.
Adopting a "milk run" method, whereby multiple parts suppliers use a single truck for efficient delivery, has achieved higher loading efficiency and reduced total driving distances.
A fully optimized transport system has been created through facilitation of transport planning and operations in conjunction with the transition to pickup logistics, through which bundled transport arrangements are conducted.
By collecting requests and problems from transport sites, continuous improvement and white logistics are achieved.
By implementing this series of measures in the Tokai region and expanding application in the Kyushu and Tohoku regions as well, Toyota expects to increase transport efficiency by approximately 8 percent and reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 8 percent compared to previous levels.
Toyota is implementing measures for long-term stable and sustainable logistics that support the foundations of manufacturing by creating work environments that are more amenable to everyone involved in transport and reducing environmental impact.

日本丰田市12月20日电(JCN Newswire)--丰田汽车公司(丰田)将开始从由供应商交付零部件的传统“交货物流”过渡到通过丰田公司安排实施的“皮卡物流”，以建立一个新的高效运输系统。新系统通过整合零部件供应商和分销公司来实现总体优化，目的是减轻卡车司机的工作负担，以应对现有司机人数减少和减轻环境影响的需要。在托凯地区，将于2020年9月开始作业。
据估计，(1)到2030年，物流卡车司机人数将比2015年减少26%，这将导致全国范围内严重短缺。由于对环境影响的担忧(2)--应对这些社会问题，政府呼吁到2030年将二氧化碳排放量比2013年的水平减少26%。自2019年以来，政府和企业一直在合作开展白色物流运动，目的是创造更适合司机的工作环境。丰田也作为一项辅助业务参与其中。
自2016年以来，丰田在九州地区和自2018年以来在东北地区开展了部分“皮卡物流”，并通过与相关零部件供应商和分销公司合作，在这两个区域采取了改进措施。结果改善了司机的工作环境，运输效率提高了约12%(3)，二氧化碳排放量减少了约6%。
随着托凯地区皮卡物流的启动，九州和东北地区的成功措施将得到更大范围的实施。
具体措施的实例说明如下。
货物装卸区的发展减轻了司机的负担，提高了装卸作业的安全性。
采用“挤奶”的方法，多个零部件供应商使用一辆卡车进行高效运输，获得了更高的装载效率和减少了总驾驶距离。
通过便利运输规划和业务，结合向皮卡物流的过渡，建立了一个全面优化的运输系统，通过后者进行了捆绑运输安排。
通过收集运输现场的要求和问题，实现了持续改进和白色物流。
通过在托凯地区实施这一系列措施，并扩大在九州和东北地区的应用，丰田预计与以前的水平相比，运输效率将提高约8%，二氧化碳排放量将减少约8%。
丰田正在实施长期、稳定和可持续的物流措施，通过创造更适合交通运输和减少环境影响的工作环境来支持制造业的基础。
