Current Issues on FMS Service Market Formation toward Logistics MaaS

Abstract

Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is planning to promote “Logistics MaaS” with reference to MaaS (Mobility as a Service) introduced in the field of passenger transport, and EU truck data standardization named FMS (Fleet Management System). Reviewing the original concept and practice of MaaS and EU FMS, we conclude that standardization of truck data, match making between logistics need and supply, and expansion of the FMS service market play an important role to promote Logistics MaaS. Furthermore the standardization of truck data involving concerned stakeholders is expected to produce social benefits as well.
