MIEZ to Support Construction and Civil Engineering Industries in Building Digital Operational Management Foundations for the Revised Truck Act, Effective April 2026

MIEZ Co., Ltd. (Location: 357 Kuzehigashidokawa-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto; Representative Director: Rei Fukuda; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") will strengthen its digitalization support through the operational management system "Catal" as the first step in practical response to the revised Road Transport Act for Cargo Vehicles, which is scheduled to take effect in April 2026. We will promote the establishment of a system that can accumulate accurate operational records, moving away from analog on-site management, in anticipation of the mandatory issuance of written documents and the creation of actual transport system management ledgers.

■ Impact of the Revised Truck Act on the Construction Industry

With the enforcement in April 2026, prime contractors (cargo forwarding businesses) will also be obligated to "issue written documents" and create "actual transport system management ledgers." Especially in construction sites where re-consignment tends to be multi-layered, accurate identification of actual transport operators is urgent. Furthermore, strengthened penalties for using illegal white-plate trucks (fines up to 1 million yen) mean that management deficiencies pose a significant risk directly impacting the business of consignors and prime contractors.

■ Solution: Why "Visualization of Operations" is Necessary Before Document Management

To accurately operate the documents required by the legal revision (such as transport application forms and actual transport system management ledgers), information on "when, who, which vehicle, and where" is running on site must be correctly recorded digitally.

Our dump truck-specific operational management system "Catal" strongly supports the creation of this "information foundation."

Real-time operational management: Links GPS with vehicle ledgers to visualize movements.

Automation of records: Automatically records entry/exit and driving history, reducing man-hours for reporting tasks.

Compliance foundation: Accurate data accumulation enables smooth transition to future documentation and improves reliability for business partners (consignors/prime contractors).

■ "Early Preparation" Leads to Differentiation in the Industry

Responding to legal revisions is not merely fulfilling an obligation. Early establishment of a transparent management system through digitalization is a powerful weapon for gaining the trust of consignors and realizing appropriate freight charges.

Through "Catal," our company will accompany everyone in the construction and civil engineering industries to build a stronger and more sustainable management foundation, taking advantage of the legal revision.
