"Revised Truck Law" to be enforced in April 2026. MIEZ supports construction and civil engineering industries' cargo owners and prime contractors in building "digital infrastructure for operation management."

MIEZ Co., Ltd. (Location: 357 Kusehigashitsuchikawa-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Rei Fukuda; hereinafter "the Company") will strengthen its digital transformation support through its operation management system "Catal" as a first step in practical response to operation management in the construction industry, in anticipation of the revised Road Transport Act for Motor Truck Transportation Business, which is scheduled for enforcement in April 2026. We will promote the establishment of a system that can accumulate accurate operation records, moving away from analog on-site management, in anticipation of the obligation to issue written documents and manage actual transport systems.

■ Impact of the Revised Truck Law on the Construction Industry

With the enforcement in April 2026, prime contractors (freight 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 businesses is an urgent task. In addition, stricter penalties for the use of unauthorized white trucks (fines of up to 1 million yen) mean that management deficiencies are a major risk directly linked to the management of cargo owners and prime contractors.

■ Solution: Why "visualization of operations" is necessary before document management

To accurately operate the documents required by the revised law (transport application forms, actual transport system management ledgers, etc.), information such as "when, who, with which vehicle, and where they are driving" must be digitally and correctly recorded on site.

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

Real-time operation management: Visualizes movements by linking GPS and vehicle ledgers.

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

Compliance foundation: Accurate data accumulation enables a smooth transition to future documentation and improves reliability for business partners (cargo owners, prime contractors).

■ "Early preparation" leads to differentiation within the industry

Responding to law revisions is not merely fulfilling an obligation. Early establishment of a transparent management system through digitalization becomes a powerful weapon for gaining the trust of cargo owners and achieving appropriate freight charges.

Through "Catal," we will accompany those in the construction and civil engineering industries to build a stronger and more sustainable management foundation through law revisions.
