In addition, Anritsu Transport Co., Ltd, which transports newspapers introduced one “eCanter“. It will be used for the first time in newspaper transportation. The “eCanter” delivered to the company is based in the Tokyo Kita Factory (Kita-ku, Tokyo) of the Yomiuri Shimbun Tokyo Headquarters, near Kanto. They transport newspapers in the area. Anritsu Transport Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the delivery of the newspaper is working on environment-friendly transportation through the active introduction of low-emission vehicles.
It’s an initiative for the Yomiuri Shimbun Group to decarbonise newspaper transportation and “eCanter” was chosen for it. There is growing interest in the decarbonisation of transportation in the newspaper industry as well, and the “eCanter“, which does not emit any exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide when driving, is a vehicle that contributes to the realisation of decarbonisation of transportation. MFTBC will contribute to the decarbonisation of transportation required by customers through the electric light-duty truck “eCanter“.
