From this February, the company has started long distance transport from the distribution center of a Japanese affiliated motorcycle manufacturer in Jakarta to its domestic depot (interim depot before delivering to local sales companies) in 2 major cities of Java, Semarang and Bandung.

The company developed, jointly with an Indonesian manufacturer, a three-level motorbike carrier for use in domestic road transport in December 2010 and has obtained a patent.

The new chassis, which can load around 100 scooters and increases load capacity by 30% over conventional two-level models, is a ground-breaking transport mode that contributes to increase of transport efficiency and CO2 reduction.
