        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation is urging the Organisation of Land Transport Owners (Organda) to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles as part of a national decarbonisation strategy. The ministry acknowledges challenges in setting a firm target for converting diesel-fuelled public transport to electric by 2030. Officials have studied Thailand's transition experience and are calling for government incentives to speed up fleet conversion.",
        "content": "<p>As part of decarbonisation efforts, vehicle electrification is being\nprioritised, with a specific focus on driving the transition within\npublic transport.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Transport is encouraging the electrification of\npublic transport under the auspices of the Land Transportation\nOrganisation (Organda) to accelerate a national transport transformation\nthat is environmentally friendly and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the context of decarbonisation, there is vehicle electrification,\nand one of the areas we want to promote is electrification in public\ntransport,\u201d said Muiz Thoherr, Director of Road Transport at the\nDirectorate General of Land Transportation, Ministry of Transport, when\nconfirmed in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Muiz made these remarks during the 2026 Organda National Leadership\nMeeting (Rapimnas) in Jakarta on Tuesday (30\/6), while urging transport\noperators to adapt to developments in transport technology.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the transformation of public transport is\ncontinuously evolving from conventional vehicles towards more modern\ntechnologies, including the use of electric vehicles as part of the\nfuture of transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, the transformation must be managed such that you (Organda\nmembers) inevitably have to adapt to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Ministry of Transport still faces challenges in\nestablishing targets for converting diesel-based public transport into\nelectric vehicles by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough we still face challenges in setting the target for\nconverting diesel-based public transport into electric-based transport\nby 2030,\u201d Muiz noted.<\/p>\n<p>To support the formulation of such policies, the Ministry of\nTransport, alongside Perum Damri, conducted a visit to Thailand to study\nthe transformation of public transport from internal combustion engine\n(ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday, we visited Thailand together with Damri to see how the\nprocess of transforming diesel or ICE-based transport into electric\nworks,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that Thailand\u2019s experience is expected to serve as a\nreference for Indonesia in accelerating the transition towards a\ncleaner, more modern, and competitive transport system.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he assessed that accelerating the electrification of\npublic transport requires various government incentives to ensure the\nfleet conversion process proceeds more rapidly and attracts the interest\nof transport operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVarious incentives from the government are certainly required to\nencourage the acceleration of this conversion,\u201d said Muiz.<\/p>",
