Nippon Express (China) Co., Ltd. (Chairman: Sumitoshi Matsuo; hereinafter, "NX China") and Nippon Express Global Logistics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Chairman: Hisashi Shimoonoda; hereinafter, "NX Shanghai"), group companies of NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (President: Satoshi Horikiri), have introduced into the Shanghai area a total of four all-electric trucks that do not emit CO2 or other exhaust gases as part of their efforts to combat climate change.
The NX Group has identified a more robust response to climate change as one of the material issues it must address to realize its long-term vision of becoming a "logistics company with a strong presence in the global market", has expressed its support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and has been pursuing measures based on the TCFD's recommendations. To date, the Group has introduced more than 12,000 eco-friendly vehicles in Japan, including hybrid vehicles, all-electric trucks, and fuel-cell electric trucks, in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions in its own operations.
The Chinese city of Shanghai is striving to reduce the number of diesel vehicles on its roads and encourage the use of new energy vehicles to improve the city's air quality and achieve carbon neutrality. In May 2025 NX China and NX Shanghai introduced four large all-electric trucks (maximum payload: 8,060kg) for intra-city and short-distance trunk transport. These electric vehicles produce zero emissions and little noise and they allow for route optimization, energy consumption management, and real-time monitoring of operational status via an intelligent vehicle dispatch system and an onboard remote monitoring platform. The two companies can provide customers with high-quality, sustainable green logistics solutions utilizing the new trucks.
The NX Group will continue pursuing sustainability management from a long-term perspective and helping improve people's lives and develop sustainable societies by addressing climate change through its business activities.
