Based on Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 66 of 2020, all private vehicles operating in the capital city are required to undergo emission testing.
This regulation also states that vehicles subject to emission testing are cars and motorcycles older than 3 years.
Emission testing is conducted by measuring the levels of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen oxide (NO) contained in the exhaust fumes.
Vehicles with CO, HC, CO2, and NO emission levels within the safe threshold will be given an emission test certificate valid for one year.
Vehicles that fail the emission test may be subject to penalties in the form of parking disincentives or fines ranging from Rp250,000 to Rp500,000.
According to data on the ujiemisi.jakarta.go.id website, until 14:30 WIB on September 7, 2023, the number of four-wheeled vehicles that have undergone emission testing reached approximately 1.02 million units, while motorcycles reached only 101,200 units.
This number is still small compared to the total number of vehicles in the capital city.
Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the total number of cars in Jakarta in 2019 (which are now over 3 years old and subject to emission testing) was approximately 3.3 million units, and motorcycles 15.9 million units.
Compared to that data, until September 7, 2023, the progress of vehicle emission testing in Jakarta was only around 30.8% for cars and 0.64% for motorcycles.
