Welcome
Automotive Working Group
The Automotive Working Group conducted a meeting on 20 May 2020. Chaired by the Head of Working Group, Daniel Purba from Mercedes Benz, the meeting discussed four topics. Three of them are related to the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of impact to the automotive sector, including the recently launched Fiscal and Non-Fiscal Stimulus, Dispensation Permit for Industry Operations during COVID-19 Emergency, and Transportation Control During the Eid Al-Fitr 2020 Religious Holiday.
Another topic discussed was Updates on Implementation of the DG Land Transport Regulation on the Mandatory Fire Extinguisher. This meeting specifically shared information about the postponement of the implementation to 4 January 2021. In addition, Daniel also conveyed a number of advocacy efforts undertaken by the Group related to these regulations. The group played an active role in providing input to help the government to accelerate recovery as the Automotive sector has been badly affected by the COVID-19.
