Truck Okoku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Kazuo Tsushima), which operates "Truck Okoku," an online buying and selling platform specializing in commercial vehicles, announced that it will launch "Truck Okoku Megaphone," an AI assistant service specialized for business owners in the logistics and construction industries, starting tomorrow, May 14, 2026 (Thursday).

This service can be experienced firsthand at our booth (B-35) at the "Japan Truck Show 2026," which opens tomorrow, May 14 (Thursday), at Pacifico Yokohama. Attendees of the exhibition can also register to use the service on their own smartphones at the venue. Registration is completely free.

About the New Service "Truck Okoku Megaphone"

"Truck Okoku Megaphone" is an industry-specific "24/7 AI assistant" service available by registering as a LINE friend.

It is not merely a chatbot, but features the voice and personality of Truck Okoku Ambassador Yoko Kumada, acting as the "strongest buddy" for presidents in the logistics and construction industries, supporting task optimization, efficiency, automation, and management decision-making.

<Three Features>

Ultra Field-Oriented DX Completed with "Voice" and "Images"

With a voice interface, task management and information retrieval are possible by simply giving instructions via phone or voice input, even while driving or working on-site. It also features a high-speed OCR (image analysis) function that instantly reads and digitizes / organizes content by simply taking a picture of invoices, delivery notes, or vehicle inspection certificates with a smartphone.

Industry-First Friendliness with Yoko Kumada's Voice and Character

Setting itself apart from conventional inorganic tools, it provides gentle, and at times powerful, support with Yoko Kumada's voice. It realizes an interface that even those who are "not good with IT" will "want to touch every day," removing psychological hurdles.

"Concierge" Function based on a General Hospital Model

Content consulted with Megaphone, such as concerns about cash flow, buying and selling vehicles, recruitment, or maintenance, will be linked with various specialized departments of Truck Okoku (like various clinical departments of a general hospital). It provides an experience of "from passive to active," naturally extracting "troubles" from daily interactions with AI and proposing optimal solutions.

Development Background

Against the backdrop of the "2024 Problem" and severe labor shortages, many "overworked managers" exist in the logistics and construction industries who cannot afford to hire administrative staff and are forced to handle administrative tasks themselves late into the night. There is also the challenge that complex SaaS (management software) does not easily penetrate the industry. Our company developed this service with the aim of rapidly accelerating DX in the logistics and construction industries by using "LINE," which many people use daily, as an entry point.

About "Truck Okoku," the Commercial Vehicle Specialist Online Buying and Selling Platform

"Truck Okoku" is an online platform specializing in commercial vehicles, offering buying and selling of a wide range of commercial vehicles from small, medium, and large trucks to small heavy equipment and buses. Test drives and purchase assessments are free, and available anywhere nationwide. It not only handles procedures related to buying and selling but also acts on behalf of cumbersome sales activities, supporting not only users but also dealerships.

Cost Reduction through One-Stop Direct Transactions

By consistently handling everything from buying to selling in-house, intermediate margins are eliminated, achieving both high-price buying and "super cheap price" selling simultaneously.

Overwhelming Inventory and Nationwide Delivery System

We always maintain an inventory of several thousand units, from small to large and specialized vehicles. Speedy delivery is possible anywhere in Japan, regardless of mainland or remote islands.

Thorough Quality Control by Professionals

Specialized staff with assessor licenses strictly check vehicles. Before delivery, dedicated staff perform inspections and cleaning, striving to provide safe and comfortable vehicles.

Diversified Business Support

In addition to vehicle buying and selling, we offer "leaseback" for fundraising without letting go of trucks, and driver recruitment.
