PGN Launches Mobile CNG Workshop Service Along North Coast During Lebaran Exodus
PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN), as Pertamina’s Gas Subholding, is strengthening synergies with PT Gagas Energi Indonesia (PGN Gagas) and the Gas Users Community (Komogas) by launching a mobile Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) workshop service in the Cirebon region, West Java.
This initiative is part of PGN’s commitment to ensure gas-fuelled vehicles (BBG) remain in optimal condition whilst enhancing safety and user comfort ahead of the 2026 Lebaran holiday period.
The mobile workshop programme is scheduled to run from 9-16 March 2026 at the Cirebon Fuel Station. The service targets ride-hailing drivers and daily transport operators using gas fuel.
Services offered include vehicle conversion to gas fuel, technical vehicle inspections, CNG installation safety audits, and safety education on proper gas refuelling procedures.
PGN Corporate Secretary Fajriyah Usman stated that the mobile workshop’s presence in Cirebon is expected to support the readiness of gas-fuelled vehicles ahead of the holiday exodus. She noted that Cirebon, located on the North Coast (Pantura) corridor, is a major route used by holiday travellers from various regions, making vehicle technical inspections critically important.
“Through this mobile workshop service, PGN aims to ensure gas-fuelled vehicle users travelling along the Pantura route, particularly in the Cirebon area, can undertake their holiday journey with greater safety and comfort,” Fajriyah stated.
She added that the technical inspections and safety education provided are expected to enhance driving safety and support smooth public mobility during the Lebaran holiday season.
Throughout 2025, PGN has also implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme converting 200 petrol-fuelled vehicles to gas fuel across various Indonesian cities. The programme aims to help daily transport drivers reduce operational costs whilst contributing to emissions reduction and environmental quality improvement.
“Through this CNG mobile workshop programme, we not only ensure vehicle readiness but also increase public understanding of safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly gas energy usage,” Fajriyah said.
PGN Gagas Chief Executive Officer Santiaji Gunawan explained that the mobile workshop is equipped with comprehensive technical facilities and technicians certified and experienced in handling gas fuel systems.
With such support, the technical team can conduct vehicle inspections, CNG installation safety checks, and provide maintenance recommendations for users.
“With complete equipment and certified technicians, we hope CNG vehicles used by the public remain in prime condition and ready for long-distance travel during the Lebaran holiday period,” Santiaji said.
Komogas Chairman Andy Lala valued the collaboration between PGN and PGN Gagas as essential in ensuring the safety and reliability of gas-fuelled vehicles in Indonesia. He also expressed hope that the partnership can expand the use of gas energy as a more efficient and environmentally friendly fuel alternative.
“We hope this collaboration further strengthens our joint efforts in improving the safety of gas-fuelled vehicles whilst promoting wider adoption of gas energy among the public,” Andy stated.
