Hojyokin Portal Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akitsugu Fukui) will co-host a free online seminar titled 'Up to 3/4 Covered by Subsidies! Subsidy Utilization Seminar for Transport Companies Introducing Digital Tachographs and Dashcams' with Tokai Clarion Co., Ltd. The event will be held on Thursday, July 30, 2026, starting at 14:00 JST.

With the tightening of operational standards, many transport companies are struggling with rising management costs. This seminar will explain the tangible business improvements offered by the latest digital tachographs and connected dashcams—eliminating the need for handwritten daily reports. We will also present the financial benefits of two key subsidies: the 'Labor-Saving Investment Subsidy,' which covers up to two-thirds of installation costs, and the 'Work-Style Reform Promotion Grant,' which offers substantial funding when linked to labor environment improvements.

Anyone can participate for free via Zoom. We invite transport companies seeking to automate labor management and reduce administrative burdens to attend.

Background

As overtime regulations become standard, accurate tracking of driver working hours and reducing the administrative burden on managers have become critical issues affecting corporate profitability.

Modern digital tachographs and connected dashcams automatically distinguish between 'driving,' 'resting,' and 'cargo waiting' simply by vehicle operation, generating precise operational data. This accumulated data becomes powerful negotiation leverage (evidence) for requesting fair freight rate adjustments and waiting time fees from shippers.

However, fleet-wide deployment requires significant capital. This seminar will thoroughly compare two major funding sources: the 'Labor-Saving Subsidy,' which allows for quick applications, and the 'Work-Style Reform Grant,' which can provide subsidies worth several million yen. We will explain, with real-world examples, the cost-benefit threshold for determining which program best suits your company.

Who Should Attend

- Those wishing to automate or streamline drivers’ handwritten reports and dispatch managers’ data aggregation tasks - Those aiming to strengthen labor compliance, such as monitoring working hours and continuous driving violations - Those wanting to visualize cargo waiting and loading/unloading times to improve negotiations with shippers on pricing and terms - Those planning to use the 'Labor-Saving Subsidy' or 'Work-Style Reform Grant' to reduce costs when upgrading to the latest models
