On 31 August 2021, EuroCham was invited by the Ministry of Transportation to a consultation event for the drafting of a roadmap on modernization of the truck fleet in Indonesia. This event is part of the collaboration between the Directorate General of Land Transport of Indonesia with the Germany Government through GIZ TRANSfer III Program. The meeting was opened by the Director General of Land Transport of Indonesia, Budi Setiyadi, which was followed by a presentation about the TRANSfer III Program and the Draft Roadmap for Modernization of Truck Fleet in Indonesia by the GIZ.

This meeting highlighted that modernization of truck fleet will reduce air pollution and increase energy efficiency. A successful modernization of truck fleet program is the responsibility of all elements within the government as well as the private sector. Therefore, drafting of a roadmap should not only consider the benefit from the modernization of truck fleet but also anticipates impacts to industry players and other stakeholders. A roadmap is hoped can be used as a guideline for the implementation schedule.
