From 2018 to 2020
Indonesia is working to make domestic freight transport more sustainable, as it suffers from congestion, overload, and outdated technology. TML supported GIZ by analysing policy options and identifying carbon reduction measures, using various data sources and interviews with stakeholders.
Indonesia is trying to improve the sustainability of its (domestic) freight transport on congested roads. These trucks are often overloaded and outdated in terms of technology. Within this project, TML looked at and assessed the policy options for shifting to more sustainable transport options (especially rail), a greener fleet, and more streamlined urban transport. The aim of this collaborative project was to identify and further develop potential CO2 mitigation measures for freight transport in Indonesia. The focus was on land transport on the island of Java.
TML supported GIZ within the context of the International Climate Initiative (IKI), established by the German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). We used several data sources, including various reports on the state of the Indonesian economy, the freight transport sector there and how it is organised, and interviews and workshops with key stakeholders. TML reviewed these sources together with UI, ICCT, and Joko Purwanto and prepared a baseline analysis for the sector, as well as an overview of the main challenges and key action levers to achieve the objectives.
