Gaining strength
from our joint delivery system

This is a system in which the goods of multiple customers are loaded onto a single truck for transport and delivery.

The previous mainstream delivery method was "one truck, one customer," even when delivering to the same destination. Joint delivery enables us to operate more efficiently with fewer vehicles, which improves logistics efficiency for the customer as well.

In addition, by reducing the number of vehicles in operation, we can cut back on the consumption of fuel oil and thereby lower CO2 emissions, making this an environmentally friendly transportation and delivery system that is also attracting attention from the perspective of sustainability.

Meito Transportation Co., Ltd. was the first in the industry to establish and begin operating a joint delivery system for chilled foods, along with Hutech norin Co., Ltd. for frozen foods, and to this day, we have been accumulating know-how and experience as industry leaders.
