The Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the theme "Electrification of Public Transportation to Support the Use of Clean Energy."

Acara ini diselenggarakan sebagai upaya mendorong penurunan emisi kendaraan sekaligus mengurangi ketergantungan pada bahan bakar fosil.

"Electrification of public transportation, particularly electric buses, is an important strategy to reduce emissions while increasing transportation operational efficiency," said Director of Road Traffic, Rudi Irawan, while reading the Director General of Land Transportation's remarks on Tuesday (September 16, 2025).

Menurutnya, program ini selaras dengan target nasional untuk mencapai Net Zero Emission pada 2060, sebagaimana diamanatkan dalam berbagai dokumen perencanaan pembangunan nasional.

Rudi menjelaskan, sektor transportasi darat merupakan salah satu penyumbang emisi terbesar di Indonesia, terutama akibat peningkatan jumlah kendaraan bermotor, khususnya kendaraan pribadi yang berkontribusi pada polusi udara dan konsumsi energi fosil.

"Through this activity, I invite all parties, including the central government, regional governments, industry, academia, and the public, to work together to support the acceleration of clean energy use in the land transportation sector," he said.

On the same occasion, Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) Speaker Khoirudin revealed that approximately 67 percent of air pollution in Jakarta is caused by motorized vehicles, and Jakarta is listed as the third most polluted city in the world.

Menurutnya, dari hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peralihan ke bus listrik mampu mengurangi sekitar 20 ribu ton karbon di Jakarta.

Kondisi tersebut membuat Jakarta menerima Sertifikat Penurunan Emisi Gas Rumah Kaca dari Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup.

PT Transportasi Jakarta (Transjakarta) has added 200 new electric Integrated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses to its fleet, which will be operational after its inauguration today at Monas, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (December 10, 2024).

The target is to have 10,000 electric buses by 2030," said Khoirudin.
