About this page

This page outlines the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's initiatives to promote modal shift from truck transportation to freight railway transport, aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve logistics efficiency. The ministry provides financial support including subsidies for infrastructure development and equipment investment. Specific projects include expanding container train capacity between major regions and extending container facilities at terminals like Sumidagawa Station. Tax incentives such as fixed asset tax reductions and diesel fuel tax exemptions for locomotives are also implemented. Additionally, soft measures including the Green Logistics Partnership Conference and Eco-Rail Mark certification help facilitate stakeholder collaboration and provide consumer decision-making criteria.
