Carrying bathtubs in Kijangs<\/p>\n
In response to the letter published in The Jakarta Post on
\nAug. 6 regarding Kijang ads, we would like to clarify as follows:<\/p>\n
We refer to Chapter III, Article 13 of government regulation
\nNo. 41\/1993, dated July 5, 1993, regarding road transportation,
\nand Decree No. KM69\/1993 of the minister of transportation dated
\nSept. 9, 1993, regarding the transportation of goods.<\/p>\n
Paragraph 1: The transportation of goods using motor vehicles
\nshould be carried out by means of cargo vans.<\/p>\n
Paragraph 3: The transportation of goods as referred to in
\nparagraph (1) may be carried out using a motor vehicle, that is
\nto say a passenger car or bus, provided that the quantity of
\ngoods transported does not exceed the transportation capacity of
\nthe vehicle concerned.<\/p>\n
The certificates of type\/variant examination for motor
\nvehicles issued by the directorate of land transportation,
\nMinistry of Transportation Nos. SK.318\/AJ.402\/DRJD\/99 and
\nSK.163\/AJ.402\/DRJD\/2001, stipulated that the Toyota Kijang
\nfulfilled the technical requirements for roadworthiness, subject
\nto the following conditions:<\/p>\n
For Kijang diesel-type Grand Long: Net weight 1,440 kilograms
\n(kg). Total approved weight 1,960 kg and passenger capacity 7
\n(seven) persons, excluding driver, and goods up to 40 kg in
\nweight.<\/p>\n
For Kijang 2.0 gasoline-type Grand Long: Net weight 1,490 kg.
\nTotal approved weight 2,010 kg and passenger capacity 7 (seven)
\npersons, excluding driver, and goods up to 40 kg in weight.<\/p>\n
Kijang rear seats may be folded down in order to create more
\nspace for passengers and also to carry more goods, as long as the
\nvehicle does not exceed the approved total weight.<\/p>\n
Regarding the Kijang ad -- the \"bathtub\" version -- we put a
\nbathtub in the back compartment simply as a graphic way of
\nshowing how spacious was the interior of the vehicle. We did not
\nshow a Kijang actually traveling on the road with a bathtub
\ninside.<\/p>\n
