Indonesia: Motorcycles: Emissions

Overview

Euro 3 standards have applied to all sales of new motorcycles with engine displacement greater than 50 cubic centimeters since August 2015. Three-wheelers and other motorcycles are subject to Euro 2 standards, although enforcement is uncertain for smaller motorcycles given the lack of an implementation date for in-production vehicles.

Applicability
New and current production two- and three-wheeler types

History

Maximum permissible emission limits for new 2- and 3-wheeler vehicle types and current production imported or domestically assembled vehicles were first established by MoEF Decree No.141/2003 on 23 September 2003. The regulation required new two- and three- wheeler vehicle types to meet Euro 2 standards beginning 1 January 2005, and current production vehicles with 4- and 2-stroke engines to meet Euro 2 standards beginning 1 July 2006 and 1 January 2007, respectively.

The amendment of that regulation, implemented via MoEF Regulation No.04/2009, eliminated the mandate for current production vehicles to meet the standard.

MoEF Regulation No.10/2012, which was then updated by MoEF Regulation No.23/2012, upgraded the emission standard for new and current production motorcycle (2-wheeler vehicles with engine displacement >50cm3) types to Euro 3, implemented 1 August 2013 for new types and 1 August 2015 for current production vehicles.

Key progress in Indonesia’s implementation of motorcycle emission standards is summarized below:

Standard Implementation Date (type approval) Implementation Date (all sales and registrations)
Euro 2 1 Jan 2005 1 Jul 2006 (4-stroke engines)(1)
1 Jul 2007 (2-stroke engines)(1)
Euro 3(2) 1 Aug 2013 1 Aug 2015
Notes:
(1) The mandate for current production vehicles to meet the standard was eliminated via MoEF Regulation no.4/2009
(2) The Euro 3 standard only applies to 2-wheeler vehicles with engine displacement >50cm3

Technical Standards

Indonesian emission requirements for two- and three-wheeler vehicles are summarized in the following table.
