The government set several terms and conditions for the manufacturing of LCGCs. For example, fuel consumption is required to be set at least 20 kilometers per liter while the car must consist – for 85 percent – of locally manufactured components . In exchange, the LCGCs are exempted from luxury goods tax, which allows manufacturers and retailers to set cheaper prices.

The process evolved from engineers working on a stationary car, to a conveyor belt system where the car passed through multiple stations of more specialized engineers. Starting in the 1960s, robotic equipment was introduced to the process, and today most cars are produced largely with automated machinery. Heavy-duty trucks are high-margin profit machines that will be key to funding automakers’ electric ambitions, but executives say the segment is likely to be among the last in the industry to get battery power — if it ever does. Enabled by SAP technology, we are transforming the battery storage industry, improving customer experiences, and gaining significant competitive advantage.

In megacities such as London, for example, car ownership is already becoming a burden for many, due to congestion fees, a lack of parking, traffic jams, et cetera. By contrast, in rural areas such as the state of Iowa in the United States, private-car usage will remain the preferred means of transport by far. Moreover, these subsidized fuel price reforms also caused accelerated inflation due to second-round effects (hence curbing Indonesians’ purchasing power further) as prices of various products rose due to higher transportation costs. Lastly, the weak rupiah (which had been weakening since mid-2013 amid the US taper tantrum) made imports more expensive. Given that many car components still need to be imported hence raising production costs for Indonesian car manufacturers, price tags on cars became more expensive. However, due to fierce competition in the domestic car market not always have manufacturers and retailers been able to pass these costs on to end-users.

Although the relatively new low-cost green car has gained popularity in Indonesia , most Indonesians still prefer to buy the multipurpose vehicle . Indonesians love the MPV, known as “people carriers”, as these vehicles are bigger and taller than most other car types. Indonesians need a big car because they enjoy taking trips with the family (and/or invite some friends). Car manufacturers are aware of high MPV demand in Indonesia and therefore continue to launch new models. With functionality in check, manufacturers now particularly focus on improving the design of the MPV to entice Indonesian consumers. Per 2017 Indonesia’s total installed car production capacity stands at 2.2 million units per year.
