Under the assumption that the Facility will be set up in the logistics centers of carriers, the partners downsized it so that it can be set up in the parking space of one heavy truck. It is capable of fueling 50 to 60 heavy LNG-powered trucks per day with a fueling time of just 10 minutes per truck. The amount of LNG remaining in the Facility can be viewed remotely, and by creating a system in which LNG replenishment occurs at the appropriate time with the appropriate amount for the Facility, the partners plan to establish a stable LNG supply system for the Facility.
It is also equipped with the world's first power supply standalone cogeneration power generation system that uses the boil-off gas from LNG as fuel. It is capable of refueling the LNG in LNG-powered trucks even during large scale power outages, and one of its special characteristics is that it has superior functions that are also capable of providing power to external sources.

Heavy trucks are the second largest sources of CO₂ emissions in the area of transport in Japan. Unlike trucks powered by electric batteries or fuel cells, LNG-powered trucks have ranges in excess of 1,000 kilometers and sufficient load capacity.
They are expected to be capable of cutting CO₂ emissions by more than 10%^* when compared to diesel-fueled trucks. LNG-powered trucks have reduced vibration and noise, and special characteristics include their exhaust being extremely green and their lack of a petroleum smell similar to diesel.
* A heavy LNG-powered truck built by Isuzu Motors Ltd. was used in tests undertaken as part of the Ministry of the Environment's “Low Carbon Research and Development Program," which ran from 2016 to fiscal year 2018. The tests confirmed that the truck had a range of more than 1,000 (primarily highway) kilometers per fill-up in city-to-city transport, and that it also produced less than 90% of the CO₂ emissions produced by diesel-powered trucks that meet Japan's heavy vehicle fuel efficiency standards set in fiscal year 2015.

Trials will be performed using 14 LNG trucks manufactured by Isuzu Motors Ltd. for the commercialization of the Facility. With the cooperation of Hokkaido Electric Power Co., Inc., the partners plan to assess the system's overall effectiveness and how much it can reduce CO₂ emissions and fuels costs typically generated by LNG-powered trucks. The results of the tests will help the partners to determine whether or not to make the system commercially available. We are also considering ways to further reduce CO₂ emissions in the future, such as by using CO₂-free LNG and by mixing the LNG with liquefied biomethane.

LNG, which fuels LNG-powered trucks, uses a dedicated nozzle and is completely sealed off as it is an extremely cold liquid. In order to avoid the risk of cold burns, etc. due to touching things that have cold areas, LNG fueling workers must wear protective gloves and face guards. In addition, there are safety measures such as the prohibition of handling heat around the Facilities.
Furthermore, the LNG tank in the Facility is a dual structure, and the risk of an LNG leak is as low as it could possibly be. In the unlikely event that LNG leaks onto the ground, it will vaporize and dissipate as vaporized gas is lighter than air, and it will not contaminate the land or water as LNG is not poisonous.

Based on the results of the trials, MC plans to consider commercialization aiming for the mid-2020's. MC will consider the costs that will be borne by carriers using these trials so that it can provide attractive pricing in comparison to fuel costs for diesel trucks.
