OSAKA, Jul 11 (News On Japan) –
In response to the so-called ‘2024 drawback,’ the place the logistics business faces a extreme labor scarcity, a brand new facility has been established in Kansai to switch truck cargo to rail freight.
The “transshipment station” at Kudara Freight Terminal Station in Higashisumiyoshi Ward, Osaka, permits the switch of truck cargo to rail containers.
Previously, rail transport was restricted to corporations proudly owning specialised vehicles able to carrying containers. However, this new house permits any transportation firm to make the most of rail freight.
This is the primary “transshipment station” established in Kansai, and there are plans to think about establishing related services at different freight stations sooner or later.
