Reducing emissions of CO₂

To decrease CO₂ emissions associated with the transportation of products and parts, AISIN actively employs marine and rail transport for long-distance shipping.

For shipments by truck, in fiscal 2009 Aisin Seiki integrated management of all cargo and created a system that enables swift and appropriate vehicle allocation management in response to changes in the amount of cargo through cooperation between plants and the Logistic Control Department. We also raised the loading efficiency of each truck, for instance by augmenting practices wherein the cargo of each Group company is shipped jointly. At the same time, we are working to raise environmental awareness at shipping companies by promoting education to encourage environmentally friendly driving practices and the implementation of eco-navigation systems, which inform drivers of driving conditions, and eco-tires.

Although there were changes in shipping volume in fiscal 2009, the above efforts have contributed to successful reductions in total CO₂ emissions, as well as emissions per unit of sales.
