Energy security has now become a concept for all countries in the world by converting fossil energy to renewable energy. Pos Indonesia, as a state-owned enterprise, must demonstrate that it is also a priority
Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-owned postal company PT Pos Indonesia showcased commitment to accelerating implementation of green industry principles in running the logistics business, including through the use of electric vehicles and environment-friendly renewable energy.

Director of Courier and Logistics Business of Pos Indonesia Siti Choiriana, in a statement here on Saturday, said the use of clean energy and electric vehicles is aimed at helping the company to become competitive at the national and international levels.

"Energy security has now become a concept for all countries in the world by converting fossil energy to renewable energy. Pos Indonesia, as a state-owned enterprise, must demonstrate that it is also a priority," she remarked.

Choiriana noted that the company currently has over 300 electric motorcycles and more than 10 electric cars. Those vehicles are also used by its couriers, especially by women couriers.

Pos Indonesia has used electric vehicles for its courier and logistics services in several regions, such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Bali.

In addition to using electric vehicles, Pos Indonesia started to utilize clean energy sourced from solar radiation.

So far, there are only two pilot projects for the use of solar energy by Pos Indonesia: the service office in Bali and the logistics warehouse in Tambun, Bekasi, West Java.

She noted that solar energy is utilized in the Bali service office, as the region is the center of events of the G20 Presidency of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, solar energy utilization in its logistics warehouse in Tambun aims to showcase its fulfillment service for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

"The two locations become the pilot projects. If the results are good, we will implement it in Pos Indonesia's offices and warehouses in various regions," she remarked.
