The latest plans for the 500 km route between Tokyo and Osaka were unveiled last month by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). They show goods being transported either on belts running down the middle of highways, alongside hard shoulders or through underground tunnels in automated, driverless electric vehicles. The 24-hour \u2018Autoflow-Road\u2019 could carry the same amount of cargo per day as 25,000 trucks.<\/p>\n<p>It could be operational within a decade at an estimated cost of up to 80 billion yen (\u20ac512m) per 10 km stretch, according to estimates by the Yomiuri newspaper. The proposed automated roads will \u201crespond to the logistics crisis and reduce greenhouse gases,\u201d while fully utilising road space, says MLIT.<\/p>\n<p>The International Transport Forum (ITF) estimates that trade-related freight transport contributes more than 7 per cent of total CO2 emissions globally &#8211; and accounts for around 30 per cent of all transport-related emissions. The US, China and the EU are the top emitters in land freight transportation, while Japan accounts for around 3 per cent, according to International Energy Agency (IEA) data. Japan aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 46 per cent by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/05\/a-500-km-conveyor-belt-road-from-tokyo-to-osaka-could-help-japan-slash-transport-emissions\"> Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-573\/\">A 500 km conveyor belt road from Tokyo to Osaka could help Japan slash transport emissions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15577,703,575,893],"class_list":["post-132830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-conveyor-belt","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-japan"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132830\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
