Indonesia: Heavy-duty: Emissions

Overview

In 2017, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry issued a decree (MoEF Decree No. P.20/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/3/2017) on emission standard limits for new motor vehicle types and current production laws that require new and current production of gasoline vehicles to comply with Euro IV standards by 7 October 2018, and diesel-powered vehicles to comply with the Euro IV standards by 7 April 2021.

History

Maximum permissible emission limits for new heavy-duty vehicle types and current production of imported or domestically assembled vehicles were first established by MoEF Decree No. 141/2003 on 23 September 2003. The regulation required all new vehicle types to meet Euro II standards beginning 1 January 2005 and for current production of vehicles to meet Euro II standards beginning 1 January 2007. It was later amended through MoEF Decree No. 04/2009, which pushed the implementation dates back to September 2010.

MoEF Decree No. P.20/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/3/2017 supersedes previous regulations and requires all new vehicle types and current production to meet Euro IV standards by 7 October 2018 for gasoline and by 7 April 2021 for diesel-powered vehicles. The significant differentiation in implementation dates is due to the current availability of low sulfur fuel gasoline in Indonesia, and the lack of availability of low sulfur diesel fuel. Low sulfur fuel is not projected to be available for wide use in the region until at least 2021.

Legislative milestones include Government Regulation No. 41/1999 for Air Pollution Control and Act No. 32/2009 for Environmental Management, which mandated emission standards for vehicles and required the monitoring of air pollution reduction compliance.

Technical Standards

Indonesian emission requirements for heavy-duty vehicles are summarized in the following tables:

**Emission standards for new heavy-duty diesel vehicles using ESC test**

Testing

MoEF Decree No. P.20/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/3/2017 requires heavy-duty vehicles to comply with emission standards. Tests can be done in accredited testing laboratories by using the European Transient Cycle (ETC) and European Stationary Cycle (ESC). ECE R 49-03 and all testing should use fuel that complies with reference fuel specification set by ECE. In a case where reference fuel is not available, then heavy-duty vehicle tests can be done by using diesel fuel with minimum cetane number 51, maximum sulfur content of 50 parts per million (ppm), and viscosity minimum 2 mm²/s and maximum 4.5 mm²/s, and for CNG fuel, C1+C2 minimum 62%, relative density at 28˚ Celsius minimum 0.56.

Test results shall be reported to the Minister of Environment using a specific format, which is attached to the decree. The test results are also used as the basis for the type approval certificate issued by the Ministry of Transport, enforced through MoT Decree No. PM33/2018.
