In recent years, Indonesia has grown and is known as an exporter of vehicles to various countries in the world. What a very prestigious achievement! Now, don’t be surprised if we are in various countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the Philippines, and even Latin American countries, seeing cars milling about similar to a number of cars passing by in Indonesia. Even though these cars were originally produced in Indonesia.
Data from the IPCC Vehicle Terminal in Tanjung Priok – the main port of export and import of cars in Indonesia – data shows the rate of increase in car exports continues to increase from year to year. For the first semester of 2022 (January-June 2022) there were more than 142,155 CBU cars of various brands and models which were exported to various countries through the Tanjung Priok Vehicle Terminal IPCC dock.
Toyota produced by Indonesia still dominates the highest number of car exports from Indonesia in the first half of 2022. Followed by Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Isuzu, Honda, Daihatsu, Nissan, Mazda, VW and Geely. While last year, the order of car exports from the largest Indonesian manufacturers was Toyota, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Honda, Isuzu, Hyundai, KIA, and various other brands.
The export surge occurred in Hyundai brand cars from PT Hyundai Motor Indonesia, which rose very significantly compared to last year. The famous car brand from South Korea, in the first half of 2021, exported only 214 CBU cars, but in the first half of 2022 it jumped up by exporting 11,385 cars to various countries.
According to Agus Hendrianto, there are many advantages offered by the IPCC Tanjung Priok Vehicle Terminal, North Jakarta, making it the mainstay terminal for car manufacturers in Indonesia for managing their product exports. In addition to facilities and services, the location of the Terminal is also relatively strategic and close to the location of car factories which are usually located around Sunter, Bekasi, Karawang, and Tangerang; and the Tanjung Priok IPCC Vehicle Terminal is also directly connected to the inner city toll road.
