Oil Transport Business

JOT Oil Transportation

JOT has capitalized on its ability to transport high volumes over long distances via on-time, low-cost railroad tank car transport and mobile, flexible, and convenient truck transport, which contributes to a stable supply of fuel oil.

Since its inception in 1946, the JOT Group has continued building on its history of transporting fuel oils such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene in railroad tank cars. In addition, we began developing our truck transport operations along with rail transport early on in order to achieve more mobility in our shipping. In some regions, JOT even manages the operations at each transport base for receiving, storing, shipping, and other supply-related services for petroleum products.
Moving forward, we will continue to carry out our mission of supporting industries and livelihoods by making the best use of both rail transport and truck transport, while at the same time putting safety first and considering our environmental impact.

Railroad Tank Car Transport

Environmentally Friendly Rail Transport

We aim to decrease the burden on the environment through the effective use of rail transport.

When considering the transport of cargo, rail transport can be seen to be much better for the environment than other transportation systems.
The carbon dioxide emissions from rail transport are roughly one-tenth that of commercial freight vehicles and about half that of cargo ships.
Although truck transport is an indispensable part of modern-day oil transport, incorporating rail transport effectively can make transportation that takes our environment into account possible.

Eco-Rail Mark
When a company or product is certified as actively making an effort to utilize rail freight transport that is environmentally friendly, the Eco-Rail Mark Eco label is attached to that product or catalog. As an “Eco-Rail Mark Supporting Company” involved with the transport of Eco-Rail Mark certified products and the transport of products for Eco-Rail Mark certified companies, we are helping to popularize the Eco-Rail Mark certification.

Large Volume Railroad Tank Car Transport

Faster, cheaper, and higher volume.
A driving force behind improving the capacity and speed of tank cars as a leading company in railroad tank car transport

JOT strives to develop and expand the stock of tank cars available for large-volume transport as the industry pursues greater efficiency in the transport of fuel oil due to a lack of commercial drivers. We have been promoting increases in capacity and speed ever since the 35-ton tank car was developed jointly with the then-Japanese National Railways in 1966. Because of the 75 km/h maximum speed at that time, JOT developed the Taki 1000 in 1993 as the first high-speed freight tank car. This innovation enabled a 95 km/h maximum speed using a 45-ton tank car. In 2021, the production of the Taki 1000 exploded to 1,000 railway cars, which was a milestone celebrated by commemoratively wrapping the 1,000th rail car.

Protection of Lifelines

Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, we worked hard to assist the Tohoku region—which was suffering a severe fuel shortage—by transporting fuel for use in the rebuilding efforts.

Maintaining the lifeline in the Great East Japan Earthquake -Fuel to disaster areas-
In order to maintain the lifeline for the Tohoku region, which experienced a severe fuel shortage following the Great East Japan Earthquake, we provided rail transport starting one week after the incident from the Kanto area to Morioka by way of Akita and Aomori. We also operated temporary oil trains as far as Koriyama by way of Niigata. At the same time, we conducted aid transport via tanker trucks from the Niigata and Akita regions toward the Pacific coast of the Tohoku area.
