!! Nissan Introduces Energy Efficient Car Carrier
to Japan Shipping Route !!
YOKOHAMA, Japan (January 30, 2012)-Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today
unveiled the Nichio Maru, an energy efficient coastal car carrier
which will transport completed vehicles and parts on one of Japan's
main maritime shipping routes.
The Nichio Maru, newly built by Shin Kurushima Dockyard Co., Ltd., has
installed solar power panels for the first time on a coastal ship in
Japan and is propelled by an electronically controlled diesel engine.
It employs LED lighting in the ship's hold and living quarters, and
its hull is painted with the latest low friction coating, among other
energy-efficient features onboard.
Compared to an existing car carrier of the same type, this ship can
achieve a fuel reduction of up to nearly 1,400 tons annually, which
converts to an annual reduction of 4,200 tons of CO2 emissions.
Nitto Kaiun Corporation, one Nissan's main sea transport partners,
will operate the Nichio Maru on the main maritime route among the
Kanto (Oppama), Kinki (Kobe) and Kyushu (Kanda) regions. The company
usually operates four sailings per week on this route, but it will
increase to six times per week with the addition of the new carrier.
Augmenting this service is expected to help improve the transport of
Nissan vehicles to their destinations.
Aiming for a leading low corporate carbon footprint is a key pillar of
the Nissan Green Program 2016, the company's new mid-term
environmental action plan. Under this plan, Nissan is engaged in the
development of zero-emission and environmentally-friendly vehicles, as
well as CO2 reduction efforts during vehicle production, logistics
activities, and in its offices and sales points. The new energy
efficient car carrier will help to significantly reduce CO2 emissions
in Nissan's logistics.
