CAR TRANSPORT

Offering value-added services with the world's largest car carrier fleet and advanced transport technologies

In the automobile transport business, NYK has operated transport services mainly for finished automobiles. However, the company has effectively responded to the recent trend in the automobile industry to assemble overseas and customers' demand for trilateral transport. In addition, NYK strives to construct a firm infrastructure by establishing coastal transportation networks in Europe, China, and Southeast Asia, constructing and operating dedicated terminals for finished automobile transport in each area, and investing in and developing inland transportation businesses.

NYK has also expanded transportation of used automobiles from overseas to Japan and offers value-added services such as predistribution inspection (PDI) processing, which includes inspections before final delivery to dealers, supplying parts, and repairing assembled automobiles at terminals.

In the automobile transport business, where cargo movement has increased globally, NYK operates 116 dedicated automobile carriers, the largest fleet in the world. Over the next three years, NYK will add more than 30 newly built carriers to proactively enhance fleet lineups in order to respond to customer needs.
