Sales and Marketing Director of PT Krama Yudha Tiga Berlian Motors,\nAji Jaya, stated that Indonesia\u2019s vast geography poses significant\nchallenges for the cold chain industry. Therefore, regardless of the\nconditions, the company is prepared to support consumers in the cold\nchain business. \u201cWe have to cross seas, cross rivers, and from the\nuser\u2019s perspective, maintain quality. So, what is the role of Fuso? As\none of the commercial vehicle manufacturers, we are certainly\nresponsible for supporting our consumers in the cold chain business. One\nof them is definitely providing vehicles with a wide variety,\u201d explained\nAji Jaya at the Fuso Seminar themed: \u2018Opportunities and Challenges of\nthe Cold Chain Industry in Indonesia\u2019. The seminar was also attended by\nthe Director General of Multimodal Transport Integration of the Ministry\nof Transportation, M Risal Wasal, and the Chief Innovation Officer of PT\nTrimitra Trans Persada Tbk (B-Log), Gerry Ardian.<\/p>\n
To that end, Fuso provides vehicles ranging from four-wheeled trucks\nto ten-wheeled ones. \u201cWe also fully understand that the logistics sector\nbusiness is developing day by day and continues to become one of the\nsupporters of business activities in Indonesia. Therefore, we must\nprovide vehicles with complete variants,\u201d said Aji.<\/p>\n
Previously, according to the Director General of Multimodal Transport\nIntegration of the Ministry of Transportation, M Risal Wasal, road\nfunctions must also be a concern for the cold chain industry. \u201cThis\nmeans consumers can choose the appropriate vehicle. Second, the quality\nmust be good. And most importantly, the after-sales service issue.\nVehicles must not operate late or delayed. For us, zero downtime,\u201d said\nAji.<\/p>\n
225 DEALERS<\/p>\n
In addition to the complete vehicle variants, Aji said the company\nalso has dealer facilities throughout Indonesia, around 225. All these\ndealers, according to Aji, are ready to provide after-sales services to\nconsumer vehicles and ensure that consumer operations can succeed.<\/p>\n
Each of these 225 dealer locations has mechanics who are trained and\nstandardised by Fuso. \u201cThen, the repair equipment or tools in the\nworkshop must also be up to Fuso standards. This means we are definitely\nready. And we have a project specifically to provide one-stop service\nfor cold chain vehicles,\u201d explained Aji. \u201cWe also provide mechanics for\nthe refrigeration units. So, if a customer\u2019s cold chain vehicle enters\nthe workshop, the service can be indicated right there,\u201d added Aji.<\/p>\n
Aji explained that the units prepared by Fuso are equipped with a\ndigital system or planner. \u201cThere, we have features to monitor the air\ntemperature inside the cold chain. Certainly, the vehicle\u2019s needs are\nadjusted to the operations,\u201d added Aji.<\/p>\n
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) guarantees the\nsustainability of the cold chain industry in Indonesia. The multimodal\ntransport system involving multiple modes has been regulated to support\nthe delivery of cold products to all regions in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Multimodal transport is the transportation of goods using at least\ntwo different modes of transport based on one multimodal transport\ncontract from the place where the goods are received.<\/p>\n
\u201cCold chain or cooling chain. Don\u2019t forget about the supply chain.\nSupply cold chain, how the supply chain faces food that requires\ncooling. In the past, we were afraid to transport pempek and such. Now,\nno,\u201d said Director General of Multimodal Transport Integration of the\nMinistry of Transportation, M Risal Wasal, at the same seminar.<\/p>\n
To support the cold chain industry, Kemenhub has prepared 776\nterminals, 256 airports, 986 stations, and 1,007 ports.<\/p>\n
INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLICY<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, Chief Innovation Officer of PT Trimitra Trans\nPersada Tbk (B-Log), Gerry Ardian, said that the support desired by his\nside is infrastructure and policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, for business players like us at B-Log as a logistics\ncompany, we definitely need support in two areas. The main one is\ninfrastructure, the second is policy. Regarding policy, it\u2019s excellent,\nSir Director General has prepared it. With our archipelagic country, how\nto ensure that these goods can reach the location with maintained\nquality. Because the problem comes back to awareness,\u201d said Gerry.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/fuso-ready-to-support-the-cold-chain-industry-in-any-conditions-1775800254", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
