Indonesian production has reached 1 million units in 2013
- Indonesia’s 2013 production levels went up up 17% compared to 2012 to reach 1 million units. One main factors can explain this surge in production: the growing domestic demand alongside the LCGC (low cost green car) policy launched in September 2013 coupled with the launch of LCGC compliant vehicles by several manufacturers.

An LCGC vehicle must follow these four specifications –Priced between 50 and 85 million IDR (3 000€ to 5 000€) –Be fuel efficient, maximum 5L/100km –Manufactured at at least 60% locally –Have a cylinder capacity of between 980 cc and 1,200 cc for spark ignition engines (Petrol) and the capacity of compression ignition engines (diesel) must not exceed 1 500 cc. Out of the 1 million vehicles produced in 2013, 53 000 vehicles produced were LCGC-compliant.
