Video: Lookman Djaja Boss Discusses ODOL and Logistics Technology Investment
The Indonesian government is preparing to implement the zero Over Dimension Over Loading (ODOL) policy for trucks with excess dimensions and loads on 1 January 2027. Responding to the ODOL truck policy, PT Lookman Djaja Logistics President Director Kyatmaja Lookman assessed that the long-planned regulation is intended to realise a safe and secure logistics transport system. However, there are several challenges in implementing the Zero ODOL rule related to its impact on increasing transportation costs by 5–10%. On the other hand, the logistics industry is highlighting the change in the 2025 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) which impacts the business competitiveness of the logistics and warehousing sector. This policy affects tax calculations and changes to licensing management, which will complicate matters for business operators. In facing various logistics business challenges, PT Lookman Djaja Logistics is implementing a number of strategies to support business growth, including promoting digital technology transformation through the use of a Transportation Management System (TMS) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
