External Environment of Railway Transportation Business The following are four of the factors in the external environment of the railway transportation business. (1) Attracting attention as the third option for transportation While marine transportation has been mainly used as the means of transportation from Japan to Europe, railway transportation is again being seen as an alternative for ensuring business continuity in view of geopolitical risks. (2) EPA (Economic Partnership Agreement) The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement was signed this year and is expected to be adopted by the European Parliament next month, and cargo quantity between Japan and the EU are likely to increase in the future. (3) Environment-friendly logistics The CO2 emissions of railway transportation are less than those of other modes of transportation, and in particular, the Trans-Siberian Railway uses all-electric trains, which makes a significant contribution to the reduction of emissions. (4) The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism s pilot project aimed at promoting the use of the Trans-Siberian Railway After Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Japan in December 2016, the Ministry has been investing in and promoting the use of the Trans-Siberian Railway since fiscal 2017.
