Expressway Company's First Relay Transportation Hub "Connect Area"
With the aim of supporting work style reform and transportation efficiency improvement in the logistics industry through relay transportation, we are working with Enshu Truck Corporation (Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture) to develop Expressway the company's first relay transportation base "Connect Area". Shin-Tomei Expwy and Hamamatsu SA in 2018, and "Hamamatsu" in June 2025 at the adjacent site of Out-bound line, and "Tomei Hamamatsu West" and "Shizuoka" newly In June 2025, we will open two new hubs, "Tomei Hamamatsu Nishi" and "Shizuoka".
Relay transportation is a system in which loads are exchanged at relay bases by changing trailer heads or by changing drivers, enabling overnight long-distance operations to be relayed by multiple drivers, thereby making day-trip operations possible. This system is expected to improve the working environment by reducing long working hours, thereby leading to reforms in the way people work.
In addition to the development of relay transportation bases, we will work to further support the logistics business and develop businesses that will lead to an increase in the value of Expressway.
