X NETWORK, a subsidiary of Kasumigaseki Capital, has launched a frozen trunk transportation service available from one pallet, in addition to its existing frozen storage service, “COLD X NETWORK.” The new service enables flexible use of trunk transportation for small-volume shipments.
The service initially operates between Tokorozawa and Sendai, with expansion to other routes planned. Available space on scheduled services is displayed online, allowing shippers to select the date and route and complete their reservations. Reservations are available 24 hours a day and are accepted until noon two business days before the departure date.
A QR code issued at the time of reservation is used to centrally manage the entire process, from receipt into the facility through delivery. Upon receipt, staff scan the cargo’s QR code using a smartphone and record the information linked to the receiving data.
The service currently operates between Tokorozawa and Sendai, with further expansion planned. The charge is ¥15,000 per pallet, excluding tax, and up to 16 pallets can be reserved per service. The temperature is maintained at -18°C. Cargo specifications are a width of 1.1 m × depth of 1.1 m × height of 1,350 mm, with a weight of up to 600 kg per pallet.
