The green lines painted on the trucks mean "youth" and the red ones mean "burning passion".
Fundamentally they handle corporate packages, and they have been operating a Japan-wide delivery service called "Parcel One" since January 2001 that is cheaper than regular express delivery services (as of February 27, 2015 the Parcel One service is limited to corporate bodies).
It has about 400 offices in major cities and regions in Japan.
Offices in the Greater Tokyo Area, Tōkai region, Kansai region, and San'yō region are directly managed (other regional offices are affiliated subsidiaries).
The trucks are mainly made by Isuzu Motors, and large trucks down to small trucks for express delivery use are deployed.
For small trucks, the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter is used.
Kintetsu Group also has a deep connection with Hino Motors.
From 2012 large trucks made by Hino were reintroduced (they had been purchased in the past).
Trucks made by Toyota and UD Trucks equipped with Hino engines are used.
The coating uses green as a base, and yellow and red lines are inserted.
"福山通運" (Fukuyama Transporting) is painted on the front, and "札幌← →沖縄" (Sapporo← →Okinawa) was formerly written as well.
Some 2 ton and 4 ton box trucks are equipped with a power deck, which moves the bed of the truck.
In recent years they have cooperated with the city of Fukuyama, where the company was founded, on sightseeing efforts.
Besides putting stickers reading "The Town of Roses – Fukuyama" on the rear doors, for trucks in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, from 2015 there are also stickers of "Rola", Fukuyama City's mascot.

Tetra-n-butylammonium iodide
Tetra-"n"-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) is a quaternary ammonium salt with an iodide counterion.
It is used for synthesizing tetra-"n"-butylammonium triiodide by mixing with iodine.
The solid crystal of tetra-"n"-butylammonium iodide is in the monoclinic cyrstal system.
It has space group "C"2/"c".
The unit cell has dimensions a=14.2806 b=14.1864 c=19.5951 β=111.149.
There are eight formulae in the unit cell (Z=8), which has volume 3702.4 Å.
The enthalpy of formation ΔH of tetra-"n"-butylammonium iodide is −499 kJ/mol, which is lower than that for the bromide or chloride (−540, −564 kJ/mol).
At lower temperatures with water tetra-"n"-butylammonium iodide forms a clathrate hydrate.
The tetra-"n"-butylammonium cation is large and hydrophobic.
The absolute enthalpy of hydration (from gas phase) is −260 kJ/mol.
The He(I) photoelectron spectrum of tetra-"n"-butylammonium iodide contains a peak at 11 eV due to the tetra-"n"-butylammonium cation, and at 7 and 8 eV due to iodide.
Second Fateh Jung Shah ministry
Second Fateh Jung Shah Ministry or Second Government of Fateh Jung Shah or Fateh Jung Shah's Second Council of Bharadars was the council of the Bharadars (equivalent to the ministry or the government of Nepal) which was formed on September 1845 (Ashwin 1902) after the assasination of Mukhtiyar Mathabarsingh Thapa.
The ministry was led by Fateh Jung Shah in his second term as Mukhtiyar (Prime Minister) of Nepal.
However, the virtual Prime Minister was Kaji Gagan Singh Bhandari who had stronghold over large number of military forces than the Mukhtiyar.
This council of ministers were dissolved due to the murder of entire council members on 14th September 1846 by the only surviving member Jang Bahadur Kunwar; the incident known as the Kot Massacre.
The ministry of the Kingdom of Nepal formed on September 1845 (Ashwin 1902) after the death of Prime Minister Mathabarsingh Thapa included Chautariya Fateh Jung Shah, Gagan Singh Bhandari, Abhiman Singh Rana Magar and Dalbhanjan Pande.
Kaji Jang Bahadur Kunwar was also reinstated to his post as Kaji and General with 3 regiments under him in the council.
Fateh Jung Shah, King Rajendra's favourite courtier, was appointed as Mukhtiyar with control over Western Commands of the Nepalese Army, Departmemt of Foreign Affairs and a direct administration of 3 military regiments.
Gagan Singh Bhandari, the Junior Queen Rajya Lakshmi's favourite courtier, became the most influential member in the State Council where he received direct control of 7 military regiments and was assigned the responsibility of supervision over all the arsenals and magazines in the country.
He was also assigned the direct administration of the Kathmandu Valley.
Abhiman Singh Rana Magar was appointed with the control over the Eastern Commands of the Nepalese Army with personal control of 2 regiments.
Dalbhanjan Pande was awarded the rank of General along with the one regiment of soldiers under his administration.
Fateh Jung, Abhiman Singh and Dalbhanjan were inclined to King Rajendra while Gagan Singh was inclined to Junior Queen Rajya Laxmi.
However, Jang Bahadur acted neutral to both factions.
On 31st Bhadra 1902 (September 1846) around 10 pm, Gagan Singh Bhandari was killed in his prayer room at home by a Maithil Brahmin assassin named Lal Jha.
Historian Baburam Acharya opines that Lal Jha was most probably supplied with guns and ammunition by Jang Bahadur Kunwar.
It was also rumoured that Mukhtiyar Fateh Jung Shah had helped the King in selecting an assassin for Gagan Singh.
The investigation of the murder of Gagan Singh led to the Kot Massacre on 14th September 1846 where all the members of the Council were killed with the exception of Jang Bahadur Kunwar.
Jang Bahadur, his brothers and aides conducted the massacre and afterwards received high posts in the new government.
